THE CEA (Construction Equipment Association) has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Best Association Transformation category at the UK Trade Association Awards 2025.
Organised by the Trade Association Forum (TAF), the awards recognise excellence among UK trade associations.
Over the past year, the CEA revealed it has delivered a series of initiatives that have ‘redefined’ how it supports its members and engages with the sector. Regular forum meetings have been revitalised, featuring expert-led sessions on compliance guidance, market insights, and economic updates.
The association has also introduced newsletters and a refreshed website that improves accessibility, as well as practical resources such as the new member brochure and manifesto.
The CEA stated that it has also strengthened its advocacy efforts. The refocused resource on market intelligence is said to have been ‘instrumental’ in supporting member decision-making and long-term planning.
Viki Bell, CEA director of operations, said, “This shortlisting is a testament to the dedication of the entire CEA team. Over the past year, we’ve focused on delivering real value to our members and ensuring the association is positioned to lead the construction equipment sector effectively. It’s fantastic to see our work recognised at this level.”
The winners will be announced on February 27 at a ceremony in London.
