Chief executive Alan Blake said: “JCB’s success over the past 65 years has been built on having the very best engineering talent. This year has started very strongly and all the signs at this stage are that growth will continue throughout 2011.

“We need to respond to that growth and strengthen our excellent team of engineers with new talent as demand for our machines increases and as we develop a range of exciting new products for the future."
