The hugely popular operator challenge is set to return to Plantworx in 2025, bringing even more energy and action to the UK’s largest working construction event.
Now taking place at Newark Showground, the challenge will again be a major draw, with JCB confirmed as headline sponsor. The manufacturer will supply all equipment used in the competition, including compact excavators, the 145XR X Series, the latest 3CX, and the versatile Hydradig. The challenge builds on the success of its debut at PlantWorx 2023. This year’s edition features eight timed challenges inspired by classic board games, plus two open-access head-to-head events for accredited operators keen to get involved.
Gareth Lumsdaine, JCB UK and ROI sales director, said: “We’re proud to support the operator challenge at PlantWorx 2025. It’s a fantastic way to mark 80 years of JCB and a brilliant opportunity to showcase our machines in action – with real operators behind the controls. It’s set to be an exciting three days.”
