All Roads Lead to Hillhead!

As this blog post goes live, I and thousands of others will be making the pilgrimage to the famous Harper Hill quarry in Buxton, to revel at the assembled kit and products from some 600 exhibitors who are attending as the show makes its long-awaited and hugely anticipated return following the pandemic.

As you might expect, I will be attending for the duration of the show, but this year it will be slightly different for me on the first day. I have agreed to join an illustrious list of high-profile construction industry social media influencers who will be sharing the demonstration duties on Hyundai Construction equipment Europe’s brand new 50-tonne class HX480AL hydraulic excavator.

I, @digger_man_blog_ will be kicking off the action on the sticks, as the warm up act, from 9am on Tuesday morning, following that the demo operators will include Scottish Instagram sensation Amy Underwood aka @the_digger_girl, James Covell of @kingslynnconstructionltd, and YouTube star Kurt Mills aka @lordmuck4890.

The action will be documented and reported on by my Construction Collective colleagues Mark Anthony of @demolition_news and his son Freddie of @diggersanddozers.

You can keep up with the action on the day by following the new Hyundai CE Europe Instagram account which is officially launching at Hillhead, just follow this link @hyundaiceeurope and click on the follow icon.

Following my time on the Hyundai stand, I will be making a start on touring the showground, on the Wednesday and Thursday, so if you see me about and are friendly, come and say hello, I’d be delighted to meet you!

Depending on how the signal technology is this time, I will attempt to do some live coverage from the show, but failing that I will be posting some additional blogs during the evenings after the show has closed for the day so lookout for that.

You can still register for free or simply turn up on the day and fill out the form, either way its easy to do, find out more on the Hillhead website here.

Its going to be a fantastic event, and I’m looking forward to it!
