Mr Jones said: "CPA is the UK's leading trade association in this sector, and my first task as President will be to help prepare the Association for the next phase in its development.

"Our Chief Executive Colin Wood has made a decision to step down from the position at the end of the first quarter of 2018, and we will begin the process of recruiting a new Chief Executive immediately.

"We intend to build on the excellent work that has been done by Colin and his team, and to continue to support our Members and the plant hire sector to face the challenges that lie ahead."
