Current boss Sir Anthony Bamford. Owns more classic cars than pretty much anyone on earth.
If you watch Alain DeCadanet's TV programs, most of the track footage is at Mr B's private track. Plus you will see a small JCB logo on a lot of the cars driven.

BTW, in the U.K. ALL backhoes are refered to as JCBs, just like all vacuum cleaners are Hoovers.
