Car maker Jaguar Land Rover is axing up to 500 management jobs in the UK amid pressure on sales due to trade tariff woes.
The Tata-owned firm said around 1.5% of its UK workforce would be affected by the job cuts, which are going as part of a voluntary redundancy programme for managers in the UK.
A spokesperson for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said: “As part of normal business practice, we regularly offer eligible employees the opportunity to leave JLR through limited voluntary redundancy programmes.”
It comes after JLR revealed last week that retail sales plunged 15.1% in the three months to June after a temporary pause in exports to the US and the planned wind-down of older Jaguar models.
The company said the significant fall in sales was partly driven by the pause in shipments to the US in April after US President Donald Trump’s administration introduced new tariff plans.
