Proven business models and proven business cases will come because they always do.
Andy NewboldGUEST
You know, Ray, you very kindly wrote a piece for Landers a little while ago as a perspective where you made the point that John Deere was a disruptor, JCB were disruptors.
Andy NewboldGUEST
Some of the household names of ag engineering globally started life as disruptors and started delivering products which nobody else did because they saw them first.

Gareth Rhys OwenHOST
There are no stands except for the historic kind of concrete bleachers that's overlooking the bay.
Gareth Rhys OwenHOST
Um, everywhere you look there's people working, laying the pitch, JCB diggers in the, in the car park area.
Gareth Rhys OwenHOST
And we're told that in five weeks' time when the Ospreys welcome the Dragons there will be supporters here and a venue capable at w- some point over the next few months of, uh, hosting 7,000 people.
Gareth Rhys OwenHOST
And do you know what? We chose this place deliberately.
Jay RyanHOST
Who did you watch? Who were you there with? Or who broke the record?
Manuel Carrillo IIIGUEST
Yeah, so JCB.
Manuel Carrillo IIIGUEST
If you've not heard of them, they are a heavy construction and agricultural equipment manufacturer.
Manuel Carrillo IIIGUEST
And they have a track record for taking their vehicles and making crazy racing versions out of them.
Jay RyanHOST
The picture you sent me, there's like a backhoe next to it.
Manuel Carrillo IIIGUEST
That's one of their...
Manuel Carrillo IIIGUEST
That's a hydrogen JCB digger.
Manuel Carrillo IIIGUEST

Suzie SiddallGUEST
But we really did a market survey and looked at what sectors were looking over the next five years.
Suzie SiddallGUEST
What was the spend in those sectors looking likely to be? And med tech and defense and marine um and like large-scale earth movers so like JCB and Fortescue and all those those are all showing a significant um spend over the next five years automotive is still looking to grow um and consequently spend but but not by nearly as much so the growth in those sectors that we'd identified was was quite significant so we're already make uk members i'm actually on the west midlands regional advisory board so um kind of spoke to those guys about make uk defense and what that could offer us and things like that so joined make uk defense and we've really got stuck in With that, you know, attending the events, getting as much knowledge out of it as we can.
Suzie SiddallGUEST
And we have now, we do now supply some defence customers.
Suzie SiddallGUEST
So that was good.
LukeAUDIENCE
We're here to rubber stamp the system.
LukeAUDIENCE
So be it crypto billionaires or... or the unions, or whoever's, you know, JCB owners paying into the Conservative Party coffers, that's who they're responding, answering to.
LukeAUDIENCE
They're not actually answering to electorate.
LukeAUDIENCE
So we have to turn that over.
ClaireHOST
At the time, it was called Evenwood Industries, though it later changed its name to Fablink when the new owners bought it.
ClaireHOST
They supplied goods for companies such as Caterpillar and JCB, and I started there as a welder.
ClaireHOST
In 2008, my partner fell pregnant, and I moved 11 miles away to Spennymoor, but continued to work at Fablink.
ClaireHOST
Due to lack of childcare, I asked my boss if I could work a permanent night shift.
ClaireHOST
Great.
ClaireHOST
We got a ghost Jim and Dwight situation over here.
ClaireHOST
Myself, one of the jobs I did was a half of a JCB, built and welded in a rotating jig, though the bearings were worn, so if you pushed down on the jig, it would move six inches.
ClaireHOST
Many times I'd be welding it, and the jig would tilt.
