Jaguar Land Rover to Cut Fewer Than 300 Jobs as Business Restructuring Continues
The changes form part of the carmaker's wider drive to improve efficiency following last year's cyber attack and ongoing investment in its future strategy.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed plans to cut fewer than 300 jobs as it continues restructuring the business to improve efficiency and strengthen long-term performance.
The company said affected employees will be supported in finding alternative roles within the organisation where possible and will also be offered the option of voluntary early exit.
JLR employs around 30,000 people across the UK and has its global headquarters in Whitley, Coventry. Its manufacturing sites include Solihull, Wolverhampton and Halewood.
The planned reductions are understood to be focused mainly on salaried and management positions rather than employees working on production lines. JLR said the changes form part of a limited redeployment and displacement programme designed to improve decision-making and simplify the way the business operates.
The restructuring follows a challenging period for the manufacturer after a cyber attack in September 2025 brought production to a standstill for more than a month. The disruption contributed to a 27% fall in production and came during Jaguar's transition towards becoming an all-electric luxury brand, while Land Rover and Range Rover production resumed once manufacturing restarted.
In June, JLR announced plans to reduce costs by around £1.7 billion over the coming years as it continues its recovery and investment programme. The company has previously estimated that the cyber attack had a financial impact of about £1.9 billion.
JLR said the latest changes will not affect its manufacturing operations and that it remains committed to its long-term strategy, including continued investment in its UK facilities and the development of its next generation of electric vehicles.
