Jaguar Land Rover move to 24hr production

Jaguar Land Rover have moved production around the clock at their Halewood plant in Merseyside.

Following the manufacturers announcement in March of this year, workers will now move to 24 hour production, as a recruitment campaign is underway to hire 1000 production operators, supervisors and engineers.

The move has been made in order to meet demand for the new Range Rover Evoque and updated Land Rover Freelander 2 models.

Halewood Operations Director, Richard Else, said: “Our new recruits have worked hard during their assessments and extensive induction training. Many have also worked a number of trial night shifts during July, to ensure we get off to a great start today.

“I am delighted to welcome our new colleagues as they come on-board to help us meet customer demand for the Evoque and the Freelander. Moving production to three shifts and working 24 hours a day will allow us to significantly reduce the time customers have to wait for their Evoques.”
