JCB boss Sir Anthony Bamford has donated a 20-tonne JS200 excavator and a 3CX to help the relief effort in Padang, following the catastrophic earthquake that struck on the 30th September.

It's not the first time that Sir Anthony has helped out. Last year, six backhoe loaders were sent to the Sichuan province from JCB's factory in Shanghai and after the Asian Tsunami in 2004, over £1m worth of kit was deployed to the area, alongside back-up and operators.  

He's an all round good egg. But these guys need more of this sort of thing from manufacturers like JCB.
