THE CEA (Construction Equipment Association) has announced the launch of a new industry awards programme.
The inaugural CEA Awards will take place on the evening of Wednesday 23 June 2027 at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham, during the second day of Plantworx 2027.
The event aims to build on the success of the Plantworx Innovation Awards, while broadening the opportunity to recognise excellence across the industry.
The new awards will continue to be held in association with Plantworx, creating an opportunity for exhibitors, CEA members and the wider construction equipment community to come together for an evening dedicated to celebrating the people, businesses, products and achievements helping to move the sector forward.
Viki Bell, CEO of the CEA, said, “The Plantworx Innovation Awards have given us a fantastic platform to recognise new products, ideas and technologies, but there is so much more happening across our industry that deserves recognition. The CEA Awards give us the opportunity to broaden that spotlight and celebrate the companies, teams and individuals making a real difference across the construction equipment sector.
“Holding the awards during Plantworx makes complete sense. Much of the industry will already be together in Birmingham, and the National Conference Centre gives us a venue where we can create a really special evening in its own right. This is the first CEA Awards, and we want to build an event that the industry genuinely looks forward to being part of.”
Further details covering award categories, entry criteria, judging, sponsorship opportunities and tickets will be announced over the coming months.
