Prime Minister visits Jaguar Land Rover at Gaydon
PRIME Minister David Cameron visited Jaguar Land Rover’s Gaydon site last Friday to find out about research and development at the biggest firm designing and making cars in the UK.
Accompanied by Kenilworth and Southam MP Jeremy Wright, Mr Cameron spent an hour and a half talking to staff, test drove a prototype hybrid Land Rover and met apprentices and graduate recruits.
Jaguar Land Rover, now owned by Indian car firm Tata, announced profits of more than £1 billion in May, and plans to invest £1.5 billion a year over the next four years, recruiting 1,000 engineers and 300 staff.
