Robbie Williams, Alex James and Paddy McGuinness helped digger-maker JCB celebrate its 80th birthday at a festival attended by more than 23,000 employees.
The event at the weekend, held at Wootton Estate near the firm’s headquarters in Rocester, Staffordshire, was hosted by McGuinness, with Blur’s James performing on Saturday and Williams closing out the show on Sunday.
Taylor Swift, Abba, Take That and Oasis tribute acts were also among the entertainment, along with choir The D-Day Darlings, who were finalists in 2018’s series of Britain’s Got Talent.
As part of his performance, Stoke-on-Trent-born Williams serenaded attendee Jules Taylor during his rendition of She’s The One.
Taylor, the wife of JCB Finance sales director Nick Taylor, said: “It was absolutely amazing – my legs were shaking. I’m a huge Robbie fan. I think he’s an amazing showman.
“I shouted to Nick to get the camera ready when he came near. I felt starstruck. What an absolutely brilliant day.”
