The Aporia · Hundreds of jobs to go at Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar Land Rover plans to cut hundreds of jobs, with fewer than 300 people expected to leave the firm under the plan. The company has been recovering from a cyber attack in September 2025 that halted all manufacturing for several weeks and resulted in a 27% drop in overall production. The job losses will primarily affect salaried and management roles, not production line staff. The company aims to save costs through its transformation initiatives as part of its recovery efforts.

Story summary

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is planning to cut hundreds of jobs, a move that comes less than a year after a cyber attack in September 2025 brought production to a halt for over a month. The company, which has its global headquarters at Whitley and manufacturing sites in Solihull, Wolverhampton, and Halewood on Merseyside, employs around 30,000 people in its UK operations, with approximately 10,000 people working at plants overseas. JLR expects fewer than 300 people to leave the firm under the plans. The company said it will support affected employees to find alternative roles or offer a voluntary early exit. This job cut is significant given that JLR was one of the biggest employers in the West Midlands and production dropped by 27% following the cyber attack.
