News Item: JCB Celebrates Double 80th Birthdays!
On behalf of the entire HAE EHA, we extend our sincere congratulations to JCB on the occasion of their 80th anniversary. Under the visionary leadership of Chairman Lord Bamford, JCB has not only become a global leader in manufacturing but has also continuously pushed the boundaries of innovation.
A long-standing and valued member of our association, JCB’s impact on the hire and rental industry is profound. Their equipment is a staple in fleets across the UK and Ireland, and their commitment to developing new, more efficient, and sustainable equipment, including pioneering advancements in battery and hydrogen power, is truly commendable.
Lord Bamford also turned 80 and this joint milestone was celebrated with a surprise event at JCB’s World Headquarters in Staffordshire on Wednesday 22nd October. The event included members of the family and JCB employees.
We were especially proud to present Lord Bamford with the HAE’s first Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence at the Hire Awards of Excellence on 12th April 2025.
Congratulations to the entire JCB team on these remarkable milestones and we hope you had a wonderful celebration.
