JLRs Halewood plant to have 24 hour shift
Following a strong global demand for the Range Rover Evoque, Jaguar Land Rover's Halewood plant will now have 24 hour shifts. JLR is also looking to hire 1000 new production operators, supervisors and engineers to manufacture the updated Freelander 2 and Evoque.
Halewood Operations Director, Richard Else said, "Our new recruits have worked hard during their assessments and extensive induction training. Many have also worked a number of trial night shifts during July, to ensure we get off to a great start today. I am delighted to welcome our new colleagues as they come on-board to help us meet customer demand for the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Freelander. Moving production to three shifts and working 24 hours a day will allow us to significantly reduce the time a customer has to wait for their new Range Rover Evoque."
