It's starting to look a bit grim for the UK factories.
Production has been down to 3 days a week for a while at the Castle Brom site, now Solihull is shutting for 2 weeks.
With the downturn in trade and the new EU funded factory opening soon I can't see JLR remaining in the UK for much longer.

Re: Jaguar Land Rover
I see Dyson are going to make electric cars, which i would suggest they will be good at.
They have chosen Singapore to build the factory mind - the UK is too expensive to make things sadly.

I'm considering a new car at the moment - could be a cheap Land Rover!

Re: Jaguar Land Rover
I have clients who have worked in JLR Castle Bromwich until a few weeks ago and they say it appears its slowly being wound down.
The last straw for them was being asked to do a weekend job which required subcontractors and equipment hire only to be told on Friday afternoon it was no longer necessary and JLR would not cover any costs.

Re: Jaguar Land Rover
Perkles was saying last week that he doesn't know any supplier who has sold to JLR recently.
