DigBits, Making British Buckets Great Again
John and Marcus Clay, the brains behind Staffordshire based DigBits, are extremely knowledgeable about diggers, digger parts, buckets and attachments, but above all, are some of the nicest people we have had the pleasure of meeting over the many years of creating this blog.
The business was founded by John Clay, Marcus’s father, way back in 1991, John himself already had a phenomenal working track record in the heavy plant and machinery industry, before taking the decision to found Digbits.
The company produces all its buckets and attachments here in the UK in their own purpose-built facilities in Rugeley, Staffs, which is not a million miles away from that other iconic Staffordshire based manufacturer JCB.

This is genuine quality British manufacturing, by British people, right in the industrial heartland of Britain which is fantastic to see.
But just who are DigBits you might ask, well they have recently posted the latest fantastic video on their You Tube channel which tells you all you need to know about this great British family business, enjoy!
