We would like to thank JCB and Scot JCB again for their hard work and support in commissioning this machine – it is testament to the factory’s flexibility.

Euro Auctions, Europe’s largest auction house of construction plant and agricultural machinery, have been appointed to sell, to the highest bidder, this candy pink 2015 JCB JS220LCexcavator, donated by Waitings from Penrith, Cumbria, to raise monies for local charities. Waitings, one of the northwest’s leading civils and plant hire specialist, commissioned the digger with support from JCB in 2015 as a companywide initiative to raise funds to fight cancer. This effort was launched on the premiss that everyone knows someone who has battled this cruel and evil disease. Adrian Ash said, “Our existing pink JCB has been fantastic in terms of productivity and in the awareness it raised. It delivered an excellent return not only for the business but also the chosen charities. It is poignant that soon after it had been introduced, we lost Victoria to the very disease we were raising money fund research into.

Three generations of the Mills' have continued to build upon each success. Their business supplies products all across Ireland.

Sadly, the plans of the campaign were blighted in 2016 when Victoria Waiting, MD of Waitings, suddenly fell ill and lost her own life to a brain tumour, which galvanised the company to fight on in the memory of Victoria and do a good thing. It all started as a bit of a laugh...” The famous last words of Tom Grant, owner of Tom Grant Plant.
