Farmers’ Union of Wales Glamorgan branch members recently enjoyed a visit to JCB's world headquarters in Rocester, Staffordshire, to experience the company's excavator production line first hand.
FUW Glamorgan county executive officer Rachel Saunders said:
“Many of our members were extremely interested in attending this visit as JCB are such a well-known and respected producer of agricultural machinery.
“Before the tour commenced, members and their family and friends enjoyed a film detailing the full extent of the worldwide production that JCB carries out as well as the huge range of machinery produced.
"After this, we were shown around a museum detailing the JCB history which started out as a small agricultural company, set up by Joseph Cyril Bamford, building tipping trailers leading through the decades to the global company that JCB is today.
“The trip was completed with a tour around the factory production floor and members found it fascinating to witness the JCB excavator being made from start to finish. I would like to thank Glamorgan members for their support and company on this excursion which will hopefully be the first of many similar events.”
