JCB has produced over one million tracked excavators during the past 70 years. Enough to stretch from the UK to Australia, a digger forms part of a living celebration to mark the company’s 70th anniversary. Not a real one but three miles of pathways cut into a 10-acre field to form a maize maze in the shape of a tracked excavator at the National Forest Adventure Farm in Burton-on-Trent. The maze was officially opened by JCB chairman Lord Bamford who said Staffordshire has been the company’s base for the past 70 years. “It’s wonderful that our anniversary is being honoured in our home county where we employ so many people,” he said. The National Forest maize maze opens to the public on Saturday 11 July and runs until 6 September – just before JCB’s anniversary on October 23.
