From the Chief Executive
Suneeta Johal Chief Executive
Construction Equipment Association
Welcome to the Autumn edition of Construction Worx. It has been some time since our last issue, but we are delighted to be back with exciting updates. We are pleased to report that Plantworx was a tremendous success, and we provide a comprehensive report in this magazine, with contributions from Earthmovers Magazine’s, Nick Drew. Additionally, the Plantworx Innovation Awards were a resounding success, with some highly deserving winners we will highlight later in this issue. In this edition, you can look forward to the latest regulatory report by Senior Technical Consultant Dale Camsell, market trends shared by CEA Data Analyst Paul Lyons, and a special feature on the Global Market by our colleague Chris Sleight, MD of Off Highway Research. We are also pleased to announce the launch of the 2023 Construction Equipment Sector report, authored by Knibb Gormezano and partners, offering very positive insights. Our correspondent Peter Haddock takes you on a tour of the Leica Geosystems technology trail in the West Country. He also interviews Caterpillar's Sam Mottram and Alison Ward
about career opportunities within the Caterpillar organisation. Peter shares his experience from the Molson Group Open Day, which was indeed a fabulous event. KGP's Alex Woodrow guides us through the complex world of sustainability, CSR, and ESG in the Commercial Vehicle and NRMM sectors. Don't miss our upcoming CEA Members' Forum on Friday, 10th November, at Volvo Group UK in Warwick, with a networking dinner the evening before. We look forward to welcoming many members. More details can be found in this issue. We do hope you can join us. There is so much more to discover in this extensive issue, and we hope you thoroughly enjoy reading it and we look forward to your feedback. Kind regards Suneeta Johal CEO, Construction Equipment Association
