Things looking decidedly rosier for Jaguar Land Rover

Life has certainly improved for Jaguar Land Rover in the past year or so. Production has rebounded since slumping during the global recession, with sales rising by 16% in September and by 40% since April.

With the improvement in business, the company has recently decided against the closure of one of its three plants in the UK, after reaching an agreement with trade unions. In 2009, Jaguar Land Rover had said it had plans to merge two of its plants to address the impact of the downturn.

The company has already begun hiring 1,500 new employees at its Halewood factory as it gears up for production of its new small SUV, the Range Rover Evoque, next year. With parent company Tata set to invest US$8 billion in Jaguar Land Rover’s factories over the next decade, there’s certainly more to smile about now than there was a couple of years ago.

    being snapped up by tata whose a company not only with deep pockets but better managerial skills unlike ford…… they just let jaguar land rover run the company by themselves. while pumping in the funds..where ford on the other hand tried to run them using thier ways and practices…the rest as we can see…is history!…

    When you are at the bottom, the only way is going up!!! Sometime % sales rising can be misleading.

    Holy crap, this is sexy. It reminds me of Heidi Klum and the VS model lineup for some reason.

    Problem with many British companies previously, always stuck in their old-fashion & snobbish tradition. How many British-owned car companies left now? Even the London taxis are produced in China!

    The Evoque is the new modern and futuristic direction they should take years ago. Design is one of the most important aspect of a car, and the Evoque is fantastic looking!
