Before joining the CEA, Mr Camsellworked for JCB, leading the regulatory compliance teams, in ensuring that its entire portfolio of machines and engines, met all necessary regulatory requirements across the global markets. He previously held a similar position for Terex.

Rob Oliver, CEA Chief Executive, said: "Dale, as a former chair of our General Technical Committee and someone who has held key positions within the Committee for European Construction Equipment (CECE), is the ideal person to fill the role for the CEA.

"He has first-hand experience of the regulatory topics facing manufacturers and the vital experience which will help us deal with both the current and future relationship with the EU."

Speaking on his new role, Mr Camsell said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be joining the CEA team. Having worked for various UK non-road mobile machinery manufacturers over my time in the industry, I have first-hand experience of the benefits of CEA membership.

"I'm therefore very proud to be joining the team and pledge to continue the legacy of my predecessor, Malcolm Kent, in providing members with the highest level of professional technical/regulatory advice, guidance and expertise they've come to expect."
