Major UK Car Manufacturer to Cut Hundreds of Jobs After Heavy Financial Losses
The company said the limited redeployment programme follows tariff pressure and a cyber attack, with affected workers offered early exit or alternative roles.
- Jaguar Land Rover announced plans to cut up to 300 jobs as part of a corporate 'restructure' aimed at improving decision-making and performance while advancing its 'transformation' toward next-generation vehicles.
- These job losses follow a challenging period marked by heavy financial losses from US automotive tariffs and a major cyber attack last year that forced the company to halt UK factory production for five weeks.
- The company expects 'less than 300' staff to depart, all from salaried and management grades, while hourly production workers remain unaffected. Affected colleagues will be offered 'early exit' or 'explore redeployment opportunities'.
- Unite National Officer Des Quinn said, "Any of our members that need support will have the full support of Unite the union." The business continues cutting around £1.7 billion in costs over coming years.
- Despite the financial losses and job cuts, Jaguar Land Rover has not entered administration or liquidation and continues normal operations, employing 33,000 people across the UK.
