JCB'S PLOUGHING £100M INTO ITS STAFFORSHIRE GLOBAL HQ

- By MAIL REPORTER

DIGGER giant JCB is to invest £100 million in its Staffordshire global headquarters to help safeguard more than 8,000 jobs in the UK.

The company says the announcement - on the eve of its 80th birthday - demonstrates the firm's 'long-term commitment' to British industry.

The investment at its Rocester site starts immediately, with a £60 million fully automated powder paint plant and a comprehensive modernisation of its shop floor with new machining centres, friction welders and cylinder boring machines.

Bosses say the investment will also strengthen JCB's competitiveness and productivity as it continues to grow internationally.

JCB chairman Anthony Bamford, right, said the investment was an 'important and logical step' for the company.
