Why Work at JCB?

JCB is a family-owned company that has enjoyed progressive success and expansion. The company began as one man building agricultural equipment into a global brand. JCB remains privately owned by the Bamford family and the present Chairman is Sir Anthony Bamford, the oldest son of Joseph Cyril Bamford CBE, the company founder.

Today, JCB has 22 plants on five continents manufacturing more than 300 products. Our success story is one that wouldn’t have happened had it not be for our employees.

JCB people are at the heart of our business, constantly driving the business forward and amazing us with incredible ideas that result in industry-leading innovations. Our founder, Joseph Cyril Bamford, always talked about a 'sense of urgency' and being 'never content'. JCB people have this 'can do' attitude and know that only the highest standards are acceptable. It's how they continue to play such a crucial role in our ongoing success.
