Company Description

Dig this: J C Bamford Excavators, commonly known as just JCB, is such a popular brand in the UK that its residents often substitute "JCB" for the word digger, the same way Americans use "Kleenex" for tissue. Best known for making backhoes, JCB produces a variety of heavy equipment used in construction and farming, including crawler excavators, backhoe loaders, front-end loaders, material handlers, and the speed tractor (the Fastrac, which moves at about 45 mph). JCB is Europe's largest maker of construction equipment. Subsidiaries JCB Finance and JCB Insurance Services, respectively, provide equipment financing and insurance for equipment and workers. JCB is owned by the family of founder Joseph Cyril Bamford.

      Sample Questions & Answers

      How does the company adjust to shifts in farm income?

      Industry revenue depends on the financial condition of crop farmers, which is highly variable. Crop yields, planted acreage, and prices for individual crops can rise and fall by double-digit percentages year-over-year. Other key factors that can...

       

      How does the company plan production and capital expenditures around the seasonal nature of the farming industry?

        What are the company's contingency plans to cope with large swings in demand?

          Overview

          The US insurance agencies and brokerages industry includes about 135,000 establishments (single-location companies and branches of multi-location companies) with annual revenue of about $110 billion. Large companies include Marsh, Aon, Arthur J Gallagher, and State Farm. Despite the prominence of large companies in the commercial segment, the industry remains highly fragmented: the largest 50 firms only hold 20 percent of the total market. Many companies that primarily offer insurance products to businesses function mainly as brokers. Captive agencies operate as a sales agent for a single insurer, working on its behalf; independent brokers sell products from several providers.

          How does the agency or broker manage shifts in demand due to economic conditions?

          The revenue of many insurance agencies swings with economic conditions, especially in property and casualty insurance, because the volume of insurance-related transactions changes. For instance, net losses on underwriting property and casualty...

           

          How have agency or broker sales been affected by the Internet?

          Insurers can easily sell auto and term life insurance, the largest volume of insurance business, over the Internet rather than through an independent agent. Many insurance companies also sell a significant number of policies directly to consumers...
