Thousands of jobs in the pipeline for Jaguar Land Rover in the West Midlands

One of the UK’s largest car manufactures has revealed ambitious expansion plans that could see thousands of new jobs being created across the West Midlands, a recent news report in the local media has revealed.

The car manufacturing giant is holding consultations with Coventry City Council on the proposals, which could result in a new campus development alongside JLR’s current site in the city, as well as a 60-acre development south of Whitley. JLR is expected to occupy half of the 60-acre site, while the remaining space will be filled by tier one suppliers.

The LEP is bidding for a government grant of £40m to fund infrastructure works, including a new bridge across the A45 to link both sites.

Ann Lucas, leader of Coventry City Council said: "This is a game changer for the city. This will further cement Coventry’s role at the heart of automotive innovation, growth and success.

"Our two world class universities, our can-do attitude and our ability to work with the private sector to deliver what successful manufacturers need if they are to stay and expand here have all played their part in convincing Jaguar Land Rover that Coventry is the right place to be at the heart of their expansion plans."
