Last week we exhibited at Hillhead 2026, the UK's largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition, held in the spectacular setting of Hillhead Quarry in Buxton. It's always a standout event in the industry, and this year's show certainly didn't disappoint.

It was fantastic to catch up with so many of our existing customers, dealers and suppliers, while also meeting plenty of new faces who were discovering our equipment for the first time. The atmosphere throughout the week was excellent, with a real buzz across the quarry as visitors explored the latest innovations in construction and demolition equipment.

On display at our stand were:

There was genuine interest across the entire range, with visitors particularly impressed by the performance and output our machines deliver for their compact size.

One of the biggest talking points was that every machine in our lineup weighs under 2.8 tonnes, meaning they can all be towed on a standard UK driving licence. For contractors and hire companies alike, that combination of portability, ease of transport and impressive productivity makes a real difference on site.

Another highlight was the reaction when visitors discovered that our machines are designed and built here in the UK. It's something we're incredibly proud of, and it was great to see how much people value British engineering and manufacturing.

As always, Hillhead proved to be a brilliantly organised event. The unique quarry setting provides the perfect backdrop for seeing equipment in its natural environment and creates an atmosphere unlike any other exhibition in the industry.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited our stand, whether you came to say hello, see the machines in action or discuss an upcoming project. We really appreciate all the conversations and look forward to building on the new relationships made throughout the week.

Roll on Hillhead 2028 – we can't wait to be back!
