Why did we partner with the CEA?
With investment in UK infrastructure set to include, £48 billion in rail, £30 billion in roads, £1.7 billion in prisons and £1.5 million new homes by 2022; there is terrific potential in the UK construction equipment market at the moment. As with most industries, there has been uncertainty caused by Brexit, however by partnering with the CEA we hope to encourage continued innovation within the industry.

Innovation is vital to remain competitive on an international scale, the sector already invests over £200 million a year into R&D, and we’ve seen how additional funds received through HMRC concessions have helped businesses build market leading positions.
