    JCB ‘greatest factory adventure’: engagement lessons for plant operators

    JCB ‘greatest factory adventure’: engagement lessons for plant operators

    First reported on The Construction Index

    30 Second Briefing

    JCB and Construction Edition have launched a UK and Ireland promotion hiding five “Golden JCB DIGatron” stickers in construction-themed sticker packs, echoing a Willy Wonka-style golden ticket hunt. Winners who find a DIGatron sticker can claim an exclusive JCB prize experience, with the campaign centred on JCB’s signature yellow branding and plant machinery imagery rather than chocolate. The initiative targets plant operators, apprentices and young enthusiasts, using low-cost sticker packs as a physical engagement tool for the construction community.

    Technical Brief

    • Promotion scope explicitly covers both UK and Ireland distribution networks for the sticker packs.
    • Only five Golden JCB DIGatron stickers exist, creating extremely low statistical win probability per pack.

    Our Take

    JCB features only sporadically in our 185 Infrastructure stories, and when it does it is usually in the context of equipment launches rather than consumer-facing promotions, so this UK–Ireland campaign signals a push to strengthen brand affinity with operators and future plant buyers early.

    With no mines or specific projects attached, this piece sits at the lighter end of our 459 Product/Projects-tagged items, contrasting with most coverage that links machinery directly to major infrastructure schemes or AI-enabled equipment deployments.

    The UK and Ireland are among the most frequently occurring European markets in our infrastructure database, and JCB’s decision to localise this promotion there suggests the company is reinforcing its already-strong regional base rather than testing new geographies.

    Groundforce managing director appointment: safety and culture focus for site engineers

    Groundforce, the propping and shoring subsidiary of Vp, has confirmed Warren Buckland as managing director after several months in the role on an interim basis following Paul Donovan’s retirement. Buckland previously led Groundforce Bridge, Groundforce Ireland, Groundforce Training and Stopper Specialists, bringing direct experience in temporary works equipment, modular bridges and pipeline stoppers. He states his priorities as tightening safety and governance across these specialist operations and building a more inclusive, values-driven workplace culture for Groundforce’s site and engineering teams.

    GDL gets shovelling at Torness: earthworks and ground improvement lens for engineers

    Ground Developments Ltd has started bulk earthworks and ground improvement for Metlen Energy & Metals at the Torness HVDC converter station, delivering around 350,000m³ of earthworks and soil modification on a geotechnically constrained coastal site. The company is using a large plant fleet including a new Komatsu PC700 excavator and Wirtgen WR240x stabilisation mixer to execute the ground treatment. The converter station forms part of the Eastern Green Link 1 project, a 196km subsea HVDC link between Torness and Hawthorn Pit rated at 2GW, connecting offshore transmission to the UK onshore grid.

    Willmott Dixon starts Crowborough SEND school: logistics and safety lessons for project teams

    Willmott Dixon has begun construction of Acre Wood Academy in Crowborough, a £15.6m, two-storey steel-frame secondary SEND school providing 60 places for 11–16-year-olds for East Sussex County Council. Procured through the Procurement Hub 2 Framework and due to complete in winter 2026, the project sits adjacent to an existing primary SEND school that must remain fully operational, imposing tight logistical and safety constraints on site access and phasing. The scheme’s design is tailored to complex pupil needs, implying specialised internal layouts, acoustic treatment and controlled circulation that will influence structural and services coordination.
