Halewood investment keeps UK central in JLR expansion efforts

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed that the new Land Rover Discovery Sport model will be built at its Halewood plant near Liverpool, bringing 250 new jobs to the UK facility. The latest news comes at a time of considerable capacity expansion for the company, and as much attention is given to markets outside of Europe. With the new Halewood investment, JLR reaffirms its commitment to manufacturing in its home market, despite temptations elsewhere.
