News Item: HAE EHA Will Support the CECE Congress 2026 in London
The Hire Association is pleased to be attending and supporting the CECE Congress, taking place from 27th to 29th October 2026. This follows the formation of a reciprocal membership and cooperative agreement between HAE EHA and the Construction Equipment Association (CEA) earlier this year.
The CECE Congress, organised annually by CEA, brings together key figures from across the construction industry to discuss sector-wide observations and challenges, with the aim to share knowledge and seek solutions.
The event, taking place at IET London: Savoy Place, features two days of congress, with topics including creativity in engineering, the current geopolitical landscape and technical discussions.
HAE EHA will be represented at the event by Director of Public Affairs, Mark Bradshaw, and Chief Executive Paul Gaze. Looking ahead to the event.
“The CECE Congress is a great opportunity to meet with global business leaders, OEM’s and hirers to discuss the challenges facing the industry”, Paul said.
“The 2026 Congress themes of Create, Innovate and Inspire highlight the opportunities for people joining, collaborating, and showcasing the reach and impact this industry has on the wider economy and society.”
The Congress includes a Gala Dinner and a luxury cruise on the River Thames. The event is sponsored by numerous Hire Association member businesses, including JCB, Datatag/CESAR, Caterpillar, PlantWorx/Nineteen Group and Safety Shield Global.
