Last updated 17th Jul 2025
The Coventry-based car maker Jaguar Land Rover has said it is to axe up to 500 management jobs in the UK.
The firm have confirmed the plans this morning (17 July), with the carmaker saying they'll run a voluntary redundancy scheme with staff.
This all comes amid sales falling over the three months to June, partly because of the pause in shipments to the US in April after President Trump's administration introduced new tariff plans.
The Tata-owned car maker revealed that retail sales slid by 15.1% to 94,420 units over the three months to June.

A spokesperson for JLR said: "As part of normal business practice, we regularly offer eligible employees the opportunity to leave JLR through limited voluntary redundancy programmes.”
They went onto say:
"JLR regularly offers eligible employees voluntary redundancy programmes. Through this limited UK VR programme for managers, JLR is aligning its leadership workforce for the business’s current and future needs.
"We are grateful to the Government for delivering at speed the new UK-US trade deal, which gives us the confidence to invest £3.5bn per annum to realise our strategy which is delivering."
The firm have told us that the number of employees due to leave 'are not expected to exceed 500', representing 1.5% of their total UK workforce.
