JCB & Family

JCB was founded in 1945 by Joseph Cyril Bamford in Staffordshire and the company’s name comes from his initials, JCB. It began by producing agricultural equipment and later became well known for its construction machinery, particularly its iconic backhoe loaders. Today, JCB makes a wide range of machines, including excavators, tractors, wheel loaders, telehandlers and compact equipment. Its machinery is used around the world in construction, farming, waste management, road building and other industries. JCB has grown from a small British business into a global manufacturer with operations and customers across many countries. They own dozens of JCB plates on company cars and the family have an extensive car collection.
