Jaguar Land Rover to Cut Fewer Than 300 Jobs
The automaker plans workforce reductions less than a year after a cyberattack disrupted production.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced plans to eliminate fewer than 300 jobs across its operations. The company stated that impacted employees will receive support in finding new roles or be offered voluntary early exit packages.
This latest workforce reduction comes less than a year after a significant cyberattack in September 2025, which halted JLR's production for more than a month and resulted in a 27% drop in overall output. The cyberattack affected the manufacturing lines for Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles, as well as halting the production of Jaguar cars before their relaunch as all-electric models.
JLR employs approximately 30,000 people in its UK operations, with global headquarters at Whitley and manufacturing sites in Solihull, Wolverhampton, and Halewood. The company also has around 10,000 employees at overseas plants. The cyberattack was a major blow to the company, which is a significant employer in the West Midlands region.
