Jaguar creates 1,100 new jobs to support the launch of new Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Booming Jaguar Land Rover today announced more than 1,100 new jobs to rev up its expanding model range.



The recruitment at its Castle Bromwich plant in the West Midlands is to support the launch of the new Jaguar XF Sportbrake estate which goes on sale from September, priced from £31,940, as well as upgrades to the mid-range XF and flagship XJ models for next year.



Even more jobs are in the pipeline for the forthcoming two-seater F-Type sports car which is set to be a star of September’s Paris Motor Show before it goes on sale in the UK in the middle of next year.
