Machine operator training company Williamsons of Endon in Staffordshire has just bought its fourth JCB machine in three years.
Its 13-tonne JS130 tracked excavator was made at JCB Heavy Products in Uttoxeter. The machine is fitted with a JCB Ecomax Tier 4 Final/Stage IV engine, designed to deliver lower emissions and improved fuel consumption.
Trainees gain CPCS operator cards and achieve an NVQ in plant operations. Williamsons also supports candidates through their CSCS touchscreen test to upgrades and renewal of the CPCS competence card.
