Synopsis

In October 1945, Joseph Cyril Bamford started the company that would come to revolutionise the construction and agriculture industries all around the world. JCB would create the world's first backhoe loader, and while the model has provided the backbone of the company, the product range quickly expanded and moved into new areas.

From those modest beginnings, the past 80 years have seen JCB grow into a market leader with more than 300 different machines now being manufactured across four continents, but the original ethos of a family-driven company producing quality products remains to the fore – now led by Lord Anthony Bamford. This book, expanded and updated in celebration of the company's 80th anniversary, is an unabashed celebration of one of Great Britain's greatest engineering names and the remarkable machines that can be seen in action all over the world.

From the first trailer produced in 1945 to the latest ground breaking hydrogen-powered developments – the story of JCB is told through a remarkable collection of images from the company's own archives.
