Jaguar Land Rover confirms job cuts as manufacturer looks to save £1.7bn
The company is opening a voluntary redundancy programme after a cyberattack and weaker sales hit profits, with 30,000 UK workers affected.
- Today, Jaguar Land Rover informed employees and trade unions it is opening a voluntary redundancy programme for salaried and management staff, with reports indicating plans to cut 4,000 jobs amid operational optimizations.

- Unite general secretary Sharon Graham warned that "Death by a thousand cuts" and years of under-investment are crippling the industry, which employs about 30,000 people across the West Midlands, Halewood, and Merseyside.
- Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds has spoken to JLR chief executive Balaji and will meet the firm's leadership team early next week to discuss mitigation measures for affected workers and families.
- Shifting focus toward EVs, the company aims to simplify its business model, while the Government has committed £4 billion to the DRIVE35 program for automotive capital and research and development funding through 2035.
