Visitors to the Hillhead 2026 quarrying and construction equipment show will be taken on a journey to uncover the solutions to their operational challenges by Finning UK & Ireland.
Zones where visitors can pinpoint the issues they face on site and discuss how to solve them will be hosted by Finning as it looks to support more businesses in transforming their processes through increased efficiency and extended support.
Its expert team will be available at the show to offer an insight into the critical factors shaping the future of the quarrying and construction industries, and the advanced applications on offer to help them work smarter.
Finning says it is helping customers to innovate and streamline operations through cutting edge digital solutions and integrated support packages that include the deployment of digital and technology features, data-analysis and on-site training.
Mick Knight, head of corporate and strategic accounts at Finning UK & Ireland, said: “Connecting our customers to the tools that enable their businesses to thrive is very important to us, whether that is using technology to unlock the data they need to improve safety, sustainability and productivity, or opening up new, cost-effective ways to invest in machinery through rebuilt solutions.
“Hillhead is a fantastic event and the perfect opportunity for our team to engage with visitors, holding conversations with the aim of making a direct, positive impact on operations by finding a solution to some of the biggest challenges companies face, from decarbonisation to skills development.
Taking place at Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton in Derbyshire, Hillhead was established 44 years ago and attracts more than 20,000 visitors and 600 exhibitors across three days. It features live demonstrations, interviews and displays in a working quarry setting, attracting the biggest names in quarrying, construction and recycling.
Knight added: “The Finning Caterpillar experience will be a fun, interactive way to consider how to develop and improve performance across the whole business, not just across the machine fleet.
“By combining technology, data, expertise and long-term lifecycle thinking, we can help customers to improve safety, upskill teams and streamline operations for maximum efficiency.”
