«Breaking News» Britain's largest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover wields the axe again with 'up to 5,000 jobs at risk'

Thousands of jobs are set to be axed at Jaguar Land Rover in the New Year as it clambers to turnaround the business.

JLR – Britain's largest carmaker – could cut as many as 5,000 roles from its 40,000 workforce, claims the Financial Times.

The firm has embarked on a two-year cost-cutting exercise as it suffers from sliding demand for diesel and poor sales in China.

More job losses at the UK's biggest carmaker: JLR is due to announce next month that it will cull around 5,000 employees as part of a cost-saving strategy

It is expected to reveal details of the job losses in January when it sets out its short-term strategy to revive its fortunes.

JLR has already slashed 1,000 jobs from its factory in Solihull. 

In a statement, the firm said: 'Jaguar Land Rover notes media speculation about the potential impact of its ongoing Charge and Accelerate transformation programmes. 

'As announced when we published our second quarter results, these programmes aim to deliver £2.5 billion of cost, cash and profit improvements over the next two years. 

'Jaguar Land Rover does not comment on rumours concerning any part of these plans.'

Britain's biggest carmaker announced last month that it is to reduce the workforce at its engine manufacturing plant in Wolverhampton, central England, by about 500 in what it called a 'temporary move'.

The company said in response to adjustments in vehicle production schedules, the Engine Manufacturing Centre will take a temporary pause in production.

Maintenance and salaried staff will continue as normal. 

Those affected will continue to receive full pay for the period.

'The external environment remains challenging and the company is taking decisive actions to achieve the necessary operational efficiencies to safeguard long-term success,' the brand added in a statement.

About 500 of the factory's 1,600-strong workforce could be affected at any one time through a two-week period.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
