The event, which takes place every other year and attracts thousands of visitors from across the world, was due to take place this June but in light of the ongoing coronavirus crisis, organisers confirmed it will now take place from June 22 to 24 2021.

Hillhead event director Richard Bradbury said: ‘The health and safety of exhibitors, visitors, contractors and employees is our number one priority and with the peak of the epidemic predicted to coincide with the show in June, this would be severely compromised.

‘Following an extensive consultation process, the decision has been taken to delay the event by a year to allow market conditions to stabilise and to best support the construction and quarrying industry during this challenging period.”
