J C Balls

The company was founded in 1963 by James Christopher Balls, Jim to all who know him, when he became the owner/operator of a JCB3 machine. Two years later in 1965 he bought a second machine and employed his first operative.

Over the following years the company grew in size resulting in larger premises being purchased in 1978. Further expansion led to the purchase of the old railway yard in Ambergate in 1983 which is still home to the company. It now boasts purpose built offices and workshops as well as being the base for our volumetric concrete mixer fleet and vintage plant collection.
