Welcome to the home of construction excellence

The complexity of today’s construction and engineering projects is fundamentally changing the way we build. Globalised teams are tasked to deliver infrastructure at breath-taking scale yet with greater efficiency and lower environmental impact. Success means being more sustainable, more collaborative and more tech-savvy.

Success in delivering construction projects to timescale, specification and budget depends heavily on a reliable supply chain of high-quality construction products. The UK construction sector is a trusted supplier of a broad range of products, components and solutions both internationally and domestically.

Welcome message by UK Ambassador to Finland Tom Dodd

Tervetuloa! 

Welcome to the UK Construction Innovations Website. 

Construction underpins our economy and society. Over half the world’s population now live in urban centres. With this percentage likely to continue rising, so too will the demand for well-designed and well-built towns and cities. In the past few years, there have been impressive arena, shopping centre and housing developments in Finland, and in the coming years we are expecting to see further developments, especially in transport and renewable energy infrastructure.

The UK is a leading provider of products, equipment and solutions needed for modern construction development. Many of our firms are leading the way in perfecting environmentally-sensitive products for low carbon and sustainable construction. This year the UK is hosting the 26th UN Climate Change Conference. We are determined to build a green recovery from the Coronavirus, and a greener sustainable future for us all.  

The UK exports over £6bn of construction products and materials annually. On top of sustainable solutions, the UK is at the forefront of health and safety management, and is home to many producers of high-quality safety equipment.

Finland and the UK have fostered a close relationship for over a century. The UK is dedicated to strengthening the bilateral relationship further in the future. 

This online mission allows you to learn from the cutting-edge solutions in the UK market and to connect with innovative British companies. The British Embassy and DIT Finland look forward to supporting you in establishing these relationships. 

I hope our successful trade relationship will continue to strengthen in the years to come.

Welcome message by Construction Equipment Association (CEA) Chief Executive Rob Oliver

The CEA is pleased to be working with the British Embassy Finland and the Department for International Trade to bring this pioneering virtual trade mission to the Finnish market. 

The Construction Equipment Association (CEA) is the trade association that represents the UK construction equipment sector – and is recognised by our Government as the voice of our industry. 

The CEA represents manufacturers from leading OEMs and tier one suppliers – and right down through the supply chain. Our members also offer machine attachments, aftermarket services, safety and security products and more. Our key customers are in the construction, infrastructure, mining and quarrying sectors. 

The UK construction equipment sector is driven by innovation, offering advanced solutions for machine efficiency, safe and secure working conditions and minimized environmental impact. The CEA is pleased to be able to introduce a diverse range of advanced manufacturing UK companies to Finland – albeit virtually for now. But we hope to follow up this virtual mission in person when the pandemic allows.  

We believe that the UK construction equipment industry combines the highest standards of manufacturing, innovation and service. Our members work with the best local representatives in market to provide full support for the buyers of their equipment. 

We are delighted to be part of this initiative.
