JCB chairman Lord Bamford has written to the firm鈥檚 6,500 UK employees explaining why he鈥檚 personally backing leaving the EU.

In the letter he said he was 鈥渧ery confident that we can stand on our own two feet鈥�, ahead of the referendum on 23 June.

His letter added: 鈥淚 voted to stay in the Common Market in 1975. I did not vote for a political union, I did not expect us to hand over sovereignty to the EU.

鈥淚 certainly did not expect unaccountable leaders in Brussels to govern over us.

鈥淪o do I wish to remain in an EU of diminishing economic importance as it moves towards ever closer union? Or do I want us to pull out of the EU, reclaim our sovereignty and regain control of how we trade with Europe and the world?鈥�

The JCB chairman told workers it was up to them to make a choice, but urged them to vote in the referendum.

黑洞社区 magazine is backing remaining in the EU, through our 鈥樅诙瓷缜� says IN鈥� campaign, after results of an exclusive survey of 1,300 construction professionals last month showed two-thirds supported staying in.
