2025 a Big Year Ahead Welcome Back

We are back for what promises to be another sensational year for the Digger Man Blog and the construction plant and machinery social media circuit.

In addition to my work with Earthmovers Magazine, myself and the Digger Man Blog are looking forward to working with a number of machinery brands and dealers, visiting customers and end users out in the field over the coming 12 months and inline with the historical vision of this platform keeping it real from a machinery operators’ perspective.

We already have some interesting overseas visits already lined up, with some taking place as early as the end of this month, which should be awesome, that will be followed in February with our annual pilgrimage to Coventry for the Executive Hire Show which is always a great event to kick off the show season.

But of course, for most of us, the big event of the year is the triennial machinery fest that is Bauma 2025. I think this will be my 5^th Bauma show, and although I can’t commit to as many days as I would normally stay this time around, I’m still looking forward to it massively.

There really is nothing that compares to Bauma, which is the undoubted mother of all construction machinery trade shows, so if you get a chance to attend, I strongly advise you to do so, but just make sure you have the best and most comfortable footwear with you, your feet will thank you for it!

The Bauma Webcam is already up and running so; by clicking on the link, you can keep an eye on the daily build-up which has already started in earnest at the famous Messe Munchen exhibition centre.

As I write this, today my new car has gone into Tavy Signs to have a new wrap and artwork put on it, there will be more on this later this week or next week, but in the meantime, if you see us out and about, grab a photo of the car and pop it on social media for a shoutout! 

So, stick with us over the coming months for the usual mix of interesting, informative, humorous, and often nostalgic material that this platform has become famous for since its inception back in 2008, I thank you all for the continued support, have a great year!
