Jaguar Land Rover to create over 1,000 jobs
Luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, owned by India's Tata Motors, has announced plans to create more than 1,000 jobs at a plant near Birmingham, in a boost for Britain's struggling economy.
"The company has announced plans to recruit more than 1,000 members of staff at its advanced manufacturing plant in Solihull," JLR said in a statement Thursday.
"These posts are being created in support of the business's stated ambition to deliver 40 significant product actions over the next five years thanks to a multi-billion-pound investment in product creation."
Tata has enjoyed huge success with the Jaguar and Land Rover brands since acquiring them for $2.3 billion from U.S. car giant Ford in 2008.
