Visitors to the Executive Hire Show 2026 are invited to visit the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) team on stand H3. The two-day show is taking place at CBS Arena, Coventry, on 11th and 12th February 2026.
The CPA has exhibited at the Executive Hire Show every time the exhibition has been held since its launch in 2007. 2026 will be the 19th time that the CPA has exhibited at the show.
An innovative feature on the 2026 CPA stand will be the Association’s brand-new Plant Simulator recently purchased from market-leader Tenstar Simulation. Moving forward it will be used at schools, colleges and careers events nationwide to raise awareness about plant operating and encourage young people to consider construction plant as a future career path.
EHS visitors are invited to try their hand on the new simulator which allows Plant Operators of the future to get ‘hands on’ operating a range of equipment including Dumpers, Excavators, Telehandlers and Tower Cranes using realistic controls and 3D motion. Using immersive technology, it’s the next best thing to actually sitting in the cab and operating a real machine. It can even be used with a virtual reality headset.
The CPA plays an important role in protecting the interests of CPA members by sharing information, lobbying government, providing training and skills support, health and safety guidance, legal advice and more.
The CPA team will be on hand to offer a wealth of advice and information about future CPA events including the CPA Conference and Luncheon being hosted in London in May 2026 and the CPA Gala Dinner 2026 being held in Liverpool in November 2026.
