Jaguar Land Rover set to cut jobs amid overhaul

Car maker Jaguar Land Rover has revealed plans to cut hundreds of jobs.

The move comes as the group continues its recovery from a major cyberattack that caused it to halt production last year.

It is understood fewer than 300 jobs will be affected at the firm, which has also blamed US tariff measures for the changes.

The company, which employs about 30,000 people across the UK and roughly 10,000 overseas, has not disclosed where jobs will be hit.

The business makes cars in Solihull, in the West Midlands, Halewood, in Merseyside, and Slovakia.

A spokesperson said: “As we evolve our operating model to accelerate the growth of our brands and deliver our vehicles, we are transforming to improve decision-making and performance.

“As part of our ongoing initiatives, we have launched a limited redeployment and displacement programme.”

The business last month revealed it was planning to cut around £1.7 billion in costs over the coming years to support its recovery from last year’s cyberattack.

The carmaker was forced to stop production at its UK factories for five weeks from September 1, which weighed on sales in late 2025 and led to heavy financial losses.
