Volvo Construction Equipment Division is the distribution organisation in Great Britain (GB) for the full range of Volvo Construction Products. We are an autonomous division of Volvo Group (UK) Ltd.

Operating from eight Customer Support Centres throughout Great Britain, supplemented by strategically located home based engineers, we are able to offer the level of support that you would expect from a global construction equipment manufacturer.

Our offering consists not only of class leading construction equipment but also a range of support products covering parts, service and finance as well as initiatives such as Eco Operator training to promote fuel savings, reduced emissions and efficient productivity.

Demonstrating its commitment to the Volvo Group Core Values of Quality, Safety and Environmental Care, Volvo Construction Equipment Ltd has successfully achieved certification of its management systems against the ISO9001: 2008, ISO14001: 2004 and BS OHSAS18001: 2007 standards. The business has continuously held ISO9000 accreditation, in its various guises, since 1994 and has recently confirmed compliance with the requirements of the newly released 2008 version of the Quality Management System standard. In addition the Company has added certificates for ISO14001 & OHSAS18001 to its portfolio. All eight of Volvo CE Ltd's sites have been successfully assessed against the requirements of all three of the standards by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance.

Volvo Construction Equipment Division markets wheeled loaders, articulated haulers, hydraulic excavators, graders, Volvo Compact Equipment and Volvo road machinery products in the U.K. There are eight strategically placed customer support centres and a network of compact equipment dealers to ensure high quality customer support is maintained throughout the country.
