Off-Highway Research MD Chris Sleight has joined the board of the CEA (Construction Equipment Association).
Described as one of the leading authorities on global construction equipment markets, Chris has over 25 years’ experience in market intelligence, forecasting, and industry analysis. He holds an honours degree in civil engineering and began his career with KHL Group in 1997, where he edited International Construction and Construction Europe. Following KHL’s acquisition of Off-Highway Research in 2015, Chris moved into the consultancy and data business, becoming MD in 2018.
Chris has worked closely with the CEA over the years, contributing to discussions on global equipment trends and providing data to inform policy and advocacy work.
He said, “I’m pleased to be joining the CEA board and look forward to working with the Association and its members. Off-Highway Research has collaborated with the CEA for many years, and I hope to bring useful insights from global markets to support the association’s work on data, forecasting, and industry intelligence.”
CEA chief executive Viki Bell added, “Chris has been a long-standing supporter of the CEA, first in his role as a journalist and through his work with Off-Highway Research. He brings valuable knowledge of global construction equipment markets and years of experience in market intelligence and forecasting. His appointment will enable the CEA to provide members with clear, reliable information to support their businesses, and we are delighted to welcome him to the board.”
The move follows the recent addition of Phil Battle of SMT GB to the board.
