Youth helped, you don't think of the downside. I think the responsibility of what I had been landed with sank home a couple of days later. Governments around the world have recognised Sir Anthony's achievements. The company has also won more than 50 accolades for engineering, exports, design, marketing and management. The best is harder to pinpoint.
Business is a continuum.
I set myself the target of 50 million profits for that year. Those are the things that JCB has done but it has been my philosophy. I've kept it simple. The relationship between Sir Anthony and his father Joe is not typical.
