EDITORIAL LETTER It’s all been happening... Hello and welcome to Edition 33 of THE VOICE magazine - the voice of SMT in Great Britain.


It has been a busy few months with lots of events taking place, most noticeably Hillhead 2018 which you can read more about on pages 28–31. Once again we held the Operators Club heats at the show with Ryan Sadler and James Covell winning a place to the finals, and 20th birthday celebration, taking place in Konz in October. The new ECR18E was also revealed at the show for the first time in GB, you can read more about this new ultra-short swing radius compact excavator on pages 32–35.


In this edition we visit Collins Earthworks at the mid-point of a major three-year, six million cubic metre muck-shifting project taking place at East Midlands Gateway and look at how Volvo Construction Equipment, including the A60H is helping them to stay on target for completion. Find out more on pages 40–43.


Sticking with the A60H, we visit CEMEX who received the first articulated hauler of this size in GB. We caught up with the team three months after receiving the machine to see what their thoughts were, you can read about this on pages 6–9.


One of our oldest, longest standing dealers for Volvo utility equipment, Nixon Hire, are celebrating 50 years of trading. We take a look at their history on pages 48–51.


In more personal news, I’m delighted to announce that I have joined the Executive Management Team at SMT GB as Marketing Director. It’s a really exciting opportunity that will allow me to ensure that our marketing activities are closely aligned with the company’s strategy and growth plans.


I hope you enjoy reading the latest edition of THE VOICE. It is very much your magazine so if there is anything you would like to see more of, please let me know or tweet me @AmyMetcalfeIM
