Thanks for your feedback, it’s great to hear you have been enjoying some of the benefits on offer. Parking is disrupted at our Gaydon site while construction is underway on our £200m design and engineering centre, but we are working on options to reduce the pressure. JLR is committed to integrity, the highest level of ethical behaviour, and to creating an environment of trust which is open, safe and secure.

Business Outlook

Pros

I've been in Jaguar Land Rover for over fifteen years and the change has been dramatic. The breadth of product being delivered is astonishing for a group that is so much smaller than our rivals. There's always opportunity to use original thought to work collaboratively and find innovative solutions.

Cons

There are some areas that are heavily under resourced and do not get the attention needed until very late, meaning engineers are under a great deal of strain. The traffic problems were improved with the addition of a dual carriageway, but they are building up again now.
