We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: ELITE Consultancy Network has officially partnered with the Construction Equipment Association (CEA) to help the construction equipment industry tackle one of its biggest ongoing challenges - finding, hiring, and retaining great people.
As a specialist recruitment agency focused entirely on this sector, we know just how tough the talent landscape can be. That’s why this partnership is such a big deal - together with the CEA, we’re making it easier for businesses to access the tools, insights, and support they need to build stronger teams and plan for the future.
What This Means for CEA Members
Thanks to this partnership, CEA members will now get exclusive access to our industry-leading salary survey reports, plus the opportunity to take part in future surveys that help shape benchmarking standards across the industry.
But that’s not all. Members will also be able to tap into our specialist talent pool - one of the deepest and most targeted in the sector - to fill upcoming vacancies more effectively and confidently.
Our Approach: Inch Wide, Mile Deep
At ELITE, we’ve always focused on really knowing our niche inside and out, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Since 2006, we’ve been known for our ‘inch-wide, mile-deep’ approach, working closely with manufacturers, dealerships, crane and powered access businesses, and hire & rental companies.
We combine hands-on industry experience with smart, data-driven recruitment processes to help our clients find and grow leadership talent and build teams that truly fit. One of the key tools we bring to the table is our ENG 3D Framework® - a platform that delivers actionable talent insights, helping companies solve short-term hiring needs while building a future-ready workforce.
A Partnership Built on Member Needs
This collaboration also comes in direct response to what CEA members said they needed most: better insight into salary and benefits trends, and stronger recruitment support to attract and retain top talent.
As CEA CEO Viki Bell puts it:
“We're pleased to partner with ELITE Consultancy Network, whose expertise and insight into recruitment challenges will provide immense value to our members. Access to ELITE’s salary surveys and their extensive talent network means our members can attract and retain the right people to ensure continued growth in a competitive marketplace.”
With a global reach and a laser focus on the construction equipment and related industries, we’re excited about the difference this partnership can make - not just for individual businesses, but for the sector as a whole.
Whether you’re a CEA member looking for top-tier talent, trying to benchmark your salary packages, or just curious about how the recruitment landscape is evolving, we’re here to help.
