- Roger takes a break from ranting and raving to celebrate one of Britain's biggest building industry success stories.
A word from Lord Bamford - Chairman
The story of JCB is one of innovation, ambition and sheer hard work. From small beginnings building agricultural tipping trailers in 1945, to the global force in manufacturing the company has become today, JCB has constantly pushed the boundaries in our desire to be the best. My father and company founder Joseph Cyril Bamford’s motto was, “Jamais content”, and that is exactly right - we are never content with our achievements. But I believe that even he would be amazed by what the company has become. Today, we have 22 plants on four continents and more than 750 dealers around the world.
These are exciting times. In just 75 years we have gone from one man in a garage in Uttoxeter to a major global brand renowned for its pioneering spirit. All of this is down to our people - an 11,000-strong worldwide force that makes up the JCB family we are so proud of. Our achievements over the past 75 years have been considerable, but at JCB we believe in always looking ahead to the next development, the next level of success. As we speak, JCB is continuing to innovate and push the boundaries in research and development; in particular within the area of sustainability, where energy costs and emissions are becoming an increasingly important purchasing consideration. Many of our customers will need to reinvent their businesses to meet new building standards and emissions legislation, and we will be there to support them every step of the way, as we have always been.

ive only gone and impulse ordered a JCB after watching this
Matchbox version for the dash
As you do
Great success story! Need more of those at times like these! Thanks Roger,
The JCB factory is probably safer then Alton Towers. Unless Roger is on the digger.
Very funny!
Fascinating place. Went on a tour with my high school some years ago.
The Bamford family hold their stock in a holding company in Switzerland. Such patriots, wow.
Hi Chris
Where do you hold your stock? I have a share portolio that has investments all over the world. Does that make me a traitor. Make no mistake JCB puts a huge amount into the British economy. Just look at the technical college they fund. It takes up the slack.
@@SkillBuilder Holding shares in a secretive foreign holding company to avoid paying UK tax on the profits is not the same as investing in foreign companies. If you make a profit on your foreign stock - let's say Apple - you pay tax on it in the UK when you take your dividend and capital gain. Not so if it's a notional holding company in a tax haven.
Love it Roger, I’ve admired JCB’s products / management and approach for years
Great vid Roger, as always…thank you very much!
My JCB hedge trimmer is still going strong, thanks Roger 👍
you know when its good when others copy it. well done all.
Spot on Roger. Good news is plentiful, but the media spread doom and gloom. Keep them coming 👍
Thanks Mark
For many years I always thought that JCB was John Cyril Barrington. You learn something different every day. Now I have to remember Joseph Cyril Bamford......Cheers Roger 👍
Well said we need more guys like you singing the praises of British companies. You are right to say that you won’t hear this type of story on the BBC!
Great video and thank you for making a point the mainstream media are incapable of doing. We have a lot to be proud of. Collectively the contributions from the people of this little country are nothing short of amazing. Too many to list here, it's just a shame the likes of the BBC seem to prefer talking us down.
Love this! Thanks guys
What a fantastic story, what a great story to share.
Cheers Rodger.
Thanks Roy, some people don't like it but it takes all sorts.
In 2020, JCB received a £600m loan in emergency financial aid from the UK government, during the coronavirus pandemic, despite its ultimate ownership being in the Netherlands and having reported a record £447 million profit the previous year. Its chief executive Graeme Macdonald said: “Although not a public company, we are eligible for CCF because of our contribution to the UK economy. We don’t expect to utilise it in the short-term but it gives us an insurance policy if there is further disruption from or second spike or other impact around the world.”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JCB_(company)#Tax_Avoidance
Yes it’s amazing how wonderful all these British companies are! That is until you dig a bit deeper! Big Brexit supporter and flag shaggers. No doubt offshoring and paying less tax than an on-site brickies!
As I'm aware certain people in the JCB organisation just happen to be substantial Conservative Party donors and in return, they get government funding, wake up Roger.
@@Edsbar Certain people? Nothing hidden fellow. The big man himself proudly gave to Leave.EU.
Why bring your personal politics in to it?
They are shrewd business folk - of course they are going to take advantage of what is available. Simple commercial sense.
Great vid Roger and excellent news for JCB with all there new employies you should get more subscribers,,, hope so.
Good on you Roger - it is great to see Skill Builder giving credit where it is due. I regularly pass the JCB factory and don't mind admitting it makes me feel proud. Thank you for giving a 'Skill Builder Shoutout' to this remarkable company.👍👍👍
Loved this video mate! More like this please!!!
Great talk..... Who don't love a JCB... ❤
Great good news story. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
Nice one SB.
Excellent rant - loved it :)
Great thinking to have the on line sales reps next to the product - knowing your product makes a world of difference between sales reps with the gift of the gab and sales reps who actually know what they are talking about...
that was a great bit of news well done J C B
So funny, lol the Irish navs, great videos lad, enjoy the content, Alton towers or JCB :-)
Growing up on a farm I can remeber the very early Bamford agricultural machinery from the 1950/60's.
In those days the PTO on the back of a tractor was a new idea and the latest thing to have.
Hi Jim I remember them too. They changed life for many farm workers who could dig out ditches and clear water courses from their tractor seat. Then somebody put a roof on and made them all soft and lazy.
Get the pleasure to admire bamford in his helicopter flying past our site everyday near kingham. Proud to be British 😁.
I love good news roger and I love diggers ! We drive past one of the original factories in Cheadle on our way to Alton towers , I think the last things they built were the fast tracks , those rapid tractors . I still remember seeing them parked outside . Happy memories. It’s a Bellway estate now 🙄. 🧱👍🏼
well said roger.we aint finished yet.
Good video Roger, shame you said the HQ is in Stoke, when in fact it's in Rocester, nr Uttoxeter where it all began. In the JCB foyer is a picture of the first trailer made by Joe Bamford, with Joey holding the very young Anthony. Also in the picture is my wife's father, who was the first welder. In the JCB museum they have kept that first welding set. The company is very keen to remember it's roots.
Hi Peefor. I don't think many people know Rocester. Stoke is easier for people to place.
@@SkillBuilder What about "Near Uttoxeter"? Well known for it's racecourse, and of course Elkes biscuits. Still, at least Stoke is in Staffordshire, as is Rocester; both of which are not in Derbyshire.
Nice one, good to see someone banging the drum for Britain.
I saw on "Harry's Farm" JCB have developed a Hydrogen engine for construction machinery/vehicle and farm machines.
The story of how Bamford got the hydraulic knowledge in the beginning is a family legend.
I will look it up
@@SkillBuilder good luck "digging" that up... but I have some info.
You should go to Diggerland - full of JCBs. I think I had more fun than my 3 boys digging holes, filling them back in etc.
Been there, done that and got the T shirt.
I love good news. Let's have some more of it please. Have you thought of visiting the Ebac Factory. They make Washing Machines, Freezers and Dehumidifiers. Another great UK success story. I have one of each of there appliances and i'm delighted with them. Who wouldn't be with a 7 year parts and labour warranty on your WM.
HI Brian. Good to know this video has some appreciation, we have had a record number of unsubscribes on it.
@@SkillBuilder I watched it 3 times just to trigger the haters even more.... ;-)
Got some JCB prescription safety specs, got red white and blue vision now, come on Britain!!
It really is a tribute to the booming success of JCB that despite the owner donating millions to the Conservative Party, he can still turn a profit.
Incredible.
That is total bollocks. JCB build brilliant, world class products in Britain. They do that because the conditions here are favourable to do so. If the bedwetting loony left shit in the “let’s build things in Britain” pond then that might not be the case. So go on. Take a gamble with other people’s jobs. Just see if JCB will remain in Britain if you try and screw them over.
If he had not turned a profit he would not have any money to decide how he spends what belongs to him. BTW can you list what you spend your money on and then we can judge if you are competent to make your own decisions.
Well said Roger!! 👏🏻👍
Just bought one. A 1978 3C MkIII
100% right Roger Joey Bamford fell out with the family Bamfords Agricultural Machinery firm in Uttoxeter for being too set in their ways . He fitted a multi axis hydraulic ram control back hoe and front end loader in 1945 and over time put existing drag link winch excavators like Ruston Bucyrus makes out of business. My Aunt lived close to Joey and went out with him for a while in 1939, had they married I would be a lot better off financially today !! Their factory in Rocester is just over the Staffs border in to Derbyshire right from the start was ultra modern low level set in to the landscape in dark green to blend in to the surrounding open countryside everything about them has always had an ethos of high quality. Son Anthony is in charge Joey having passed away in 2001.As you say a major example of British innovation design and quality. Quite right to bring it to attention - we also have a great many brilliantly inventive companies in UK.
reminds me of how cadbury's started out being Quakers and had their own village, health care. Shame more companies couldn't go down that line more.
Yes that Bournville development is a fine example of what can be done
There were some enlightened capitalists in the past who understood workers with secure jobs, good pay and living conditions weren't only more productive workers, they were also better customers. Men like Henry Ford and Tomas Bata.
Go on Roger take a trip to Albion, Vado, Roper Rhodes Polypipe and many others...
“Life is to short to be negative “
Comrade Roger.
I, for one, thoroughly look forward to sponsored videos. The high density/concentrated colour top surfaced paving blocks video was a genuine joy to watch.
Where good products are showcased for our learning and overall betterment.
Any detractors are effectively saying they don't want to know about new products and don't want to evolve as people.
Good comment. They belong to a primitve order that shuns technology, beats me how they manage to watch the videos.
@@SkillBuilder The Ancient Worshipful Company of Luddites?
I don't know how they work a keyboard! Must be using some "grunt-to-text" feature?
@@SkillBuilder I wonder how they handle consuming commercially funded TV / Radio
@@SkillBuilder come on Roger you're not stupid, you know that's not the reason people (including me) got a bit iffy about that last video. Please don't belittle your viewers.
I don't mind the sponsored videos. I understand how business works. Unfortunately the reality is that this will mean that Roger has to bear those sponsors in mind rather than the viewers when he's eulogising about the product which changes the image of the channel from a skilled tradesman telling it how it is to something less frank.
its a great company jcb
Hi Roger don’t worry about the subscribers being negative on anything you are a true teacher n very knowledgeable builder
Roger - there are two stages in the analysis of British success:
(1) Identify and celebrate a British success.
(2) identify all the negatives about that success and then decide it’s not a success at all- and then lean back smiling with smug satisfaction.
Brilliant Podcast Rodger great shout for JCB..... I have a very good friend Ultan who had a ground works company ....Ultan was the boss of one of those open cast pits for coal /minerals he drove many different machines. Ultan said to me once when they scrape the earth down and then go and walk along that fresh dig you would swear you are at the seaside or on a riverbed the smell of the Sea is that strong seems there were rivers running across Europe and UK eons of years ago. Paleontologist from Glasgow University + Others would visit and pay the Machine Drivers good cash for dinosaur bones depending on the specimen.
I love JCB socks 😂😂😂
PS - totally agree Roger, well done for supporting British out loud,, totally agree.
Wish I lived near that factory myself.
Socks are okay. The jumpers suck.
Guess the machines are okay but I've only ever had a go on the small diggers and dumpers.
@@flyingjackcarpentry9394 your lucky, all I ever get is a look and dream. 😁
We should have a Skill Builder tour. It is a good central location and we could make a video
@@SkillBuilder well if that ain't the biggest hint I ever heard aimed at JCB I'm a monkeys uncle 😂😂😂
@@tinytonymaloney7832 hire one for the day and bugger about in the garden
A dentist….. incredible ❤️
I agree be an amazing day soaking up the jcb plant, id rather work for them than anyone else innovating where it matters most, all the best to them with the hydrogen future.
People have lost jobs due to Brexit AND Covid combined. However if brilliant companies such as JCB are employing more people then that is amazing news and definitely should be celebrated!
Quick FYI. If you went to JCB World Headquarters, it's in Rocester, Staffordshire, not Stoke on Trent.
I knew that would come up but I said Stoke as the nearest big City. If Rocester has a football team of note I might have said it.
@@SkillBuilder I think Rocester FC will be disappointed you feel that way. I know they speak very highly of you.
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Have you seen the new turbo charged JCB tractor doing 154mph. I love British engineering. The best in the world. You never see building collapse, bridges, or stadiums. We built the biggest building in the world. The most complicated stadium The birds nest, Harrier jump jet, steam engines, jet engines, the first computer, colour TV, arms processor which is used in every mobile phone, the first to create an jnternet connection which gave birth to the world wide Web. I love England, the people, the countryside, our ingenuity, morals, and way of life. Its something we must cherish
JCB 1.5 tonne mini digger is a crazy well built built machine.
Great shout out Roger at last, a positive for this great country. Perhaps we should start saying Yes We Can instead of all the negative stuff from the media.
Where's Kimmy The Sparks, she loves JCB. They do have some brilliant machinery though, would much rather use JCB over CAT and I've used both.
JCB are doing a great job! keeping engineering as British as Isambard kingdom Brunel
Loving it, need some more British positivity please
What's the difference between a JCB and a giraffe?
One's got hydraulics and the other has high ....
Well U wont lose me... GR info...
And for those who don't survive, obviously a JCB makes quick work of digging a hole.
Might have to wait longer than a year for new JCB if the semiconductor shortage continues! 😭 Guess the price of 2nd hand will increase! 😭😭
the JCB headquarters is actually in rocester near uttoxeter
a good 28 miles away from stoke
{:-) PAV stokie
Yes but nobody knows where Rocester is and 28 miles is a Ryan Air type of locality
Nice one Roger
Lol rodger I am glad to hear that you have taken the time to listen to your followers you are a great plumber and I would blindly follow your advice on plumbing products and procedures I'm a groundworker machine handler by trade and have owned a few machines in my time
I have owned a few different machines including a jcb and as a patriotic brit its difficult for me to say I would not buy a jcb mini digger again I've been there worn the t shirt and honestly there crap it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding if you want my opinion buy a tecuchi every time ten times the machine for the same money
But I guess it is personal preference the same way you like a brand or type of shower tray once bitten twice shy as they say 👍
That is good information. I will check out the specs. Somebody must like them
@@SkillBuilder As with all equipment you must select a model powerful enough for the job in hand . There is a price/power range for almost everything these days. Always get something better than you actually need and it will serve you well.
I doubt JCB survives on brand loyalty alone. They must be doing something right?
@@stakkerhmnd there Golden tickets were the original style of back hoe 3cx and predecessors to them 3c 3c mk2 ect they were ahead of the game but they have tried to monopolies the whole thing and spread themselves too thin quantitie over quality is OK in some games like supermarket but if you are making a major investment in a piece of kit quality wins out every time buy cheap buy twice but when they are selling them for the same price range they are purely relying on the reputation they had and hoping you have no knowledge of the competition and the difference between them
Hey that's my opinion and maybe I bought a duff machine who knows but if you look at the price new and used you will see the difference in price some brands of machines hold there value a lot better than others and there's a good reason for that
@@aulonocarazrus17 Interesting points. I would say that the market has driven itself to the absolute bottom.
It's all about cheap, cheap, cheap.
I've spoken to high ups at some of the world's best manufacturers and asked them point-blank why are they destroying their brand by going low quality AND trying to maintain price. It's a recipe for disaster.
The simple answer I was given: people ain't interested in paying proper money for a quality product anymore.
I reckon most people (myself excluded) who go on about quality simply are not prepared to pay for it.
The problem now is that due to China feeding our greed, quality brands are being hit hard.
Jo Bamford just kicked off a 1 billion pound Hydrogen fund, aimed mainly at UK businesses.
I do want to love jcb but having driven two lethargic load all’s I would say that they now trade on past excellence!
Well done Roger. A dose of reality for the remoaners.
Want a dose of reality? Go tell the UK's fishing trawler fleet...
what about black and decker?
I'm a big fan of Roger now that I know he is a Brexiteer also.
I said in a previous video that I don't cultivate friends and saying you support Brexit is a surefire way of losing a few. However, it comes to the point where hiding your views feels cowardly. I have been completely amazed by how many 'so called' intelligent people don't actually support or believe in democracy. In the original referendum, which resulted in remain, there were a great many lies told about the E.U having no political dimension and just being about trade, and as a result a great many people voted to stay in.
Now those people accuse the leave campaign of lies but to their credit the people on the losing side of the argument 40 years ago accepted the defeat and got on with life. That is how life has changed over the last 40 years.
Spot on. And the bit about the BBC.
So JCB took on a thousand workers. How many did they hire at their Sao Paulo plant in Brasil.
Sorry what is the point you are making? They have factories all over the world which is never bad thing for a global company.
Couldn't agree more with your comments
Another 1000 workers arrived by boat just yesterday.
Stakker Humanoid: a great DPRK success story.
By the way, FIRST comment. Hahaha!
No you won't Roger. A great Good News story. We need many more of them. Mike
I love the classic JCB front bucket , and artic-Arm digger. ..
I think the Japanese brands are actually better Quality
U.N meetings all held behind closed doors in front of masonic mural's!
JCB is a name to be proud of and is a excellent employer they look after their staff and their staff look after their company great company no matter where in the world I travel whenever I see the JCB logo I feel proud
Good people, this marvellous country and all the people that live within, are not on the back foot. We have always produced quality goods even if most of us havent heard of them. Have a little google where F1 cars are made and developed, indeed Indy cars . its endless, steel? we make specialised high spec incredible products sought after globally. Onwards quietly.
Graphine is also a major success story and will transform the world
@@SkillBuilder Im totally ignorant of graphine, graphite yes. Educate please.
How. In gods name would you know all this info if you weren't privvy? Also, has anyone been to the Cotswolds recently? They own pretty much a quarter of it. Go past their estate and there is digger after tractor after digger parkerd up.
Never see them on mine sites, Komatsu Volvo Mitsubishi rule there, another area they can target in the future.
The trouble is they are selling all they can make so maybe they won't go looking for new markets just yet.
@@SkillBuilder Agree, but be nice to see a JCB on Gold Rush one day :-)
Thanks Rogers, sell us some more happiness please 👍
We have a few more companies to sing about but please suggest any you feel are worth a mention
Did somebody call?
The Fastrac does 70kph = 43mph. Not 80mph. Sorry Roger. Great video though.
80kph but I recognised the error but left it in so we would get comments
👍
Rog, I love your videos, especially the rants, but I think you're crossing the line here.
There is no line, there is only freedom and if it upsets people then so be it.
@@SkillBuilder there is a line, and each of your subscribers will have to decide it for themselves
@@phil2544 yes bur you should have said I crossed your line rather than assuming the role of spokesman for our subscribers. I am not and never will be a crowd pleaser.
@@SkillBuilder I only speak for myself

Who doesn't love a digger?!
I saw a program how JCB is developing their engines to run on hydrogen. A proper set up but the uk infrastructure is way behind for Hydrogen power.
They have some hydrogen engines but the fuel cell is better
Nice video but I’m pretty sure the JCB fast tracs do 80KM per hour and not 80 miles!
Does it matter if you're shagging a flag?
Yes you are right
The problem is that manufacturing is a tiny part of the economy. However well JCB are doing will be of no consolation to the majority of the populace.
I don't agree. There is a trickle down. There are plumbers living around that factory who benefit from all those wage earners.
What’s more - the politicians and civil servants who are largely Arts, History, Economics, Media Studies or Political Science graduates (as opposed to what we need STEM graduates) - equate manufacturing to the ‘dark satanic mills’ while Germany, France and China et al just laugh at us.
Also they have built their own hydrogen-fuelled combustion engine.
Their socks aren't up to much 🤣
The socks are crap and so is a lot of the franchised junk they put their name on. I think it is a mistake to prostitute a brand.
@@SkillBuilder totally agree 👍
I LOVE JCB
It's a shame there not as well built or as good as their Japanese equivalents.
They have a huge range of machines not just diggers. It will be interesting to see how many people prefer the Kubota.
@@SkillBuilder I'm a huge fan of Perkins engines which are made in Peterborough which power jcb but the sad fact is I know of ground work companies that have 300 excavators and they are going from jcb to kubota due to reliability issues.
Nothing as joyful and fulfilling as carrying hod. All those poor souls not getting to run up and down ladders, now that machines can do it- it’s a shame!
I loved the 2 years I spent as a brickie's labourer mainly because the main guy I worked for was such a fine person, he taught me a lot and not just about bricks.
Great news👍 you might want to check out JCBS NEW hydrogen engine. Really worth a view
Yes I have been following their hydrogen engine, I am not sure it will be the future but the hydrogen fuel cell is good.
@@SkillBuilder there is another guy who does posh cars on TH-cam his video showed the jcb hydrogen engine working. It’s not a fuel cell but burns the hydrogen direct great idea as it’s cheaper and works with ice engines
Where is my mate Denty32?
In the hot tub with James. 😉
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. Again?
@@stakkerhmnd you know what he’s like…
As good a news story as this is, it's an exception. When you cut yourself off from a 27 country market on your doorstep there are consequences...
Oh dear you are not going to drag up that old arguement again. Surely you can see that nobody is cut off and we will continue to trade with Europe, just as we have for thousands of years.
If you know anything about economics you will know that protectionism (which is what the E.U is wedded to) has a negative effect and whenever it has been tried it always fails. It may take a while for people to wake up to that fact but it is inevitable.
Did it do anything to halt the progress of China or save our manufacturing? The Euro zone is dying on its arse and all they can do is print money. We know where that ends.
I know. It’s a shame. We’ll just have to complete with South Koreans, Japanese, Chinese and Indians on equal terms. Unfortunately this also means JCB will also have to sell their products in the rest of the world. After you have washed your bed linen again, tell us who will win this competition. The poor, little British company who build brilliant products or the copiers from the rest of the World. Be. A good body and put on another clean pair of previously heavily stained underpants before you reply.
