JLR taking on more production staff

[Rammy76]

The Evoque seems to be doing the trick for JLR, as it seems they are taking on another 1000 staff at Halewood.

More good news for British workers

Hopefully they will get the new "x type" as well in a few years as it used to be made there. Much better news than those across the river at Vauxhall though

It's a signal to the rest of the world that British craftsmanship is appreciated and in demand too. We've come a long way from being the country that makes unreliable rubbish that falls apart.

They're expanding at a very decent pace. You can thank the emerging markets of China and Russia for most of that. Good on them.

Eventually, they will probably open up factories in other regions which may well take away from the current workforce in the UK. Hopefully, they'll see decent growth in Blighty to make up for it, too.

Saw several of transporter-loads of Evoques on a recent trip up and down the M5 & M6 - they certainly seem to be in demand

Think I've seen/noticed around 8-10 12 plate cars over the last week or so, an XF Sport and 4-5 Evoque's, a Twingo Gordini and couple of others. Seems Jag/Land Rover are selling well.

This is probably good news for the workers at Vauxhall too - I guess a fair number of them will be applying.

I travel up past Southampton on the M27/M3 daily, I lose track of the numbr of transporters I see loaded with Land Rover & Mini products daily heading to the docks.
