Tatas-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is adding 1,000 jobs at its Halewood manufacturing plant, near Liverpool in the U.K.
“The new positions, which will support the on-going significant demand for the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Freelander 2, take the workforce at Halewood to almost 4,500 — treble the number employed there just three years ago,” the company said in a statement. JLR HR Director Des Thurlby said: “We are moving Halewood to three shifts and 24-hour operation to meet increased global demand for our products.”
The new jobs at Halewood plant will include production operators, supervisors and engineers, the company said.
