JCB Finance appoints Ian Isaac as new Chairperson

JCB Finance Ltd, the specialist in-house finance arm of construction equipment giant JCB, has announced the appointment of Ian Isaac as Chairperson of the Board, succeeding Donald Workman, who has stepped down following a successful nine-year tenure.

Ian Isaac, a veteran of the asset finance sector, brings with him a deep well of industry knowledge and leadership experience. He returns to JCB Finance with an impressive track record, having served as a non-Executive Board Director at the company for 13 years. His extensive career at NatWest, including a decade as Managing Director of Lombard – the UK’s largest asset finance provider – positions him as a strategic asset in guiding JCB Finance through its next phase of growth.

JCB Finance Ltd is jointly owned by J C Bamford Excavators Ltd and NatWest Group plc. With Isaac’s appointment, the company reinforces its commitment to continuity and expert governance.

Jon Hall, Managing Director of JCB Finance, welcomed the appointment: “It is great to have Ian back around the Boardroom table. His experience and connections in the asset finance industry, and particularly in the markets we serve, are vast. Continuity is important to our customers, the JCB Dealer network, shareholders, and employees, so we are delighted that after nine successful years of stewardship by Donald, JCB Finance will continue to benefit from outstanding and accomplished Board leadership.”
