Over 150 key contacts attended this year\u2019s Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) Plant Conference which took place at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre near Coventry<\/h2>\n

The one-day event, which was held in association with headline sponsor AMI Group<\/a>, had the theme of \u2018Understanding and Influencing the Future of Construction Plant Hire.\u2019 Held for the fourth consecutive year, the conference evoked interesting debate on important and business-critical developments in construction plant hire, such as air quality in London, supply and demand of plant operators and the effect of health on productivity.<\/p>\n

There were a total of seven speakers, along with an exhibition area showcasing equipment and new products and services from AJ Gallagher, AMI Group<\/a>, CanTrack, Datatag, ECY Haulmark, GenQuip, Hook-up Solutions, IPAF, Jaama, JCB, MCS Rental Software, Point of Rental Software, SKM Asset Finance, Select Plant Hire, Teletrac Navman and Trackunit.<\/p>\n

Kevin Minton, Director of the CPA <\/a>said: \u201cWe\u2019ve had some excellent feedback about this year\u2019s Plant Conference and the substantial list of attendees clearly demonstrated an appetite for discussion and networking. With delegates from hire companies, contractors, industry associations and government agencies, we welcomed more than 150 people to the event, comprising both CPA members and equally importantly non-members, to hear speakers discuss the ways in which we can understand and influence the future of our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Convenor John Batty from Bluejohn Marketing<\/a> opened the Conference alongside Kevin Minton. The first presentation was delivered by Daniel Marsh from King’s College London who spoke about real-world emission measurement work for the London Low Emissions Construction Partnership<\/a> and the Non-Road Mobile Machinery <\/a>(NRMM) Low Emission Zone (LEZ) policy for London.<\/p>\n

\"constructionDaniel spoke about the action being taken to reduce emissions from NRMM to protect and improve Londoners health and the introduction of Stage IV emissions standards for non-road engines used across London\u2019s Central Activity Zone (CAZ), Canary Wharf and Greater London from 1 September 2020.<\/p>\n

Carl Letman from Skyblue Research <\/a>spoke about the research carried out on behalf of the CPA to examine the supply and demand of plant operatives in the construction industry, to provide better data which can be used for planning and implementing recruitment and upskilling programmes in both general and specialist plant construction operative areas. Carl outlined that two of the biggest challenges for the construction plant industry over the next five years are ageing workforces and the difficulty of recruiting young people into the industry.<\/p>\n

Mark Noonan, Industry Relations Director at the CITB<\/a>, spoke about approval for the CITB\u2019s Levy Order and changes which are taking place on the CITB landscape, such as the reformation of the grants scheme, plus the introduction of support systems including a centralised training directory, a national register and automated grant payments.<\/p>\n

Kate Walker of Diabetes & You<\/a> spoke about the effect of health on productivity, as a total of 650,000 employees in the UK phone in sick every week.<\/p>\n

The afternoon\u2019s speaker sequence commenced with Carole Bardell, HS2\u2019s Head of Health, Safety and Security, who delivered an insightful presentation on HS2<\/a>, the new high-speed railway and HS2\u2019s vision to be a catalyst for growth across Britain.<\/p>\n

Tim Watson, Technical Consultant for the CPA, analysed how the supply chain can work together to make sites safer. Tim outlined the benefits of industry guidance and spoke of the availability of over 130 items of plant related guidance documents which can be downloaded freely from www.cpa.uk.net\/publications\/<\/a>, plus the launch of new guidance such as the Strategic Forum Plant Safety Group\u2019s (SFPSG) recently launched guidance on Reducing Unintended Movement of Plant.<\/p>\n

Kevin Minton, CPA Director said: \u201cIt was pleasing to see so many people at the conference, new delegates and previous visitors and returning sponsors. We try to make the conference the event for debate about issues that will affect our industry – those issues could include working practices, health and safety, productivity, people and skills. But before any policy is made, or any intervention planned, we need proper understanding of where we are and what we might face. At the CPA, we want to work with industry to allow people and businesses the scope to fulfil their potential and the conference afforded the opportunity to hear about some of the pathways towards that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
