As a not-for-profit, industry-owned organisation, MPQC — through its awarding arm, MP Awards — provides qualifications, assessments and certification schemes that support safe, skilled plant and machinery operation across construction, quarrying and extractives.

“Construction sites today demand more than muscle, they demand mastery,” said John Clark, general manager at MP Awards. “We’re working with employers, trainers and regulators to ensure workforce competence keeps pace with the technology we see at PlantWorx. Technology without training is a risk, not a solution.”

On stand DB-18, the MPQC team will be on hand to talk about a wide range of qualifications — from plant operations and site safety to transport and supervisory roles — all designed to support compliance, sustainability and professional growth.

With equipment innovation front and centre at PlantWorx 2025, MP Awards is championing the people who make it work safely and efficiently.

PlantWorx takes place from 23–25 September 2025 at Newark Showground. Register now at https://plantworx.yourticketpurchase.com/
