Jaguar Land Rover, a company that has received more than £127m in corporate welfare since 2005, announced on 13 April 2018 that it is cutting 1,000 jobs at its Solihull plant in the West Midlands.
Most recently, our data show that Jaguar Land Rover received £3.4m in corporate welfare in 2017, £6.7m in 2016, and £21.7m in 2015.
The company stated in a press release that the jobs cut is the result of a drop in sales, which it attributes to uncertainty over Brexit and taxes for diesel vehicles.
The cut will impact temporary contract workers.
