Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed plans to reduce its workforce by fewer than 300 employees. This action is part of a broad transformation strategy designed to improve business performance and accelerate the growth of its brands.
The car manufacturer, which employs approximately 30,000 people in the UK and around 10,000 internationally, did not specify which departments or locations would be affected by the job reductions. JLR operates major manufacturing sites in the UK, including facilities in Solihull, West Midlands, and Halewood, Merseyside, as well as a plant in Slovakia.

Cost Reduction and Recovery Efforts
This latest announcement comes as JLR continues its efforts to recover financially. The company has outlined a target to cut costs by around £1.7 billion in the forthcoming years. These savings are expected to be achieved through reductions in areas such as materials, warranty expenses, and fixed operational costs.
The business has been significantly impacted by a cyber attack that occurred last year. This incident forced JLR to halt production at its UK factories for a period of five weeks, beginning on 1 September 2025. The production stoppage adversely affected sales in late 2025 and contributed to substantial financial losses for the company.

Impacted colleagues will be supported to find alternative roles wherever possible, alongside the option of voluntary early exit."
