UK car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is set to cut hundreds of jobs as part of a major transformation plan.
The company, which employs around 30,000 people in the UK and roughly 10,000 overseas, has not confirmed where the cuts will take place, but it is understood that fewer than 300 roles will be affected.
Most of the company’s vehicles are manufactured at sites in Solihull, Halewood and Slovakia.
The job losses follow a challenging period for the company, which last year faced a major cyber attack that forced it to halt production at its UK factories for five weeks from September 1 last year.
A JLR spokesman said: “As we evolve our operating model to accelerate the growth of our house of brands and deliver our next-generation vehicles, we are transforming our business to improve decision-making and performance.
“As part of our ongoing transformation initiatives, we have launched a limited redeployment and displacement programme.
“Impacted colleagues will be supported to find alternative roles wherever possible, alongside the option of voluntary early exit.”

The disruption in 2025 led to heavy financial losses and negatively impacted sales in late 2025.
Last month, the company, which is the UK’s largest car maker, said it planned to cut around £1.7 billion in costs over the coming years to help support its recovery.
These savings are expected to come from reductions in materials, warranty expenses, and fixed costs.
JLR is thought to build about 1,000 cars a day.
Despite the financial losses and job cuts, Jaguar Land Rover has not gone into administration or liquidation and instead operates as usual.
However, a variety of travel companies have ceased trading or entered administration in 2026:
Luxury UK holiday company Salamander Voyages shut down back in April after entering administration.
Meanwhile, UK airlines have fallen into administration or liquidation this year, including:
