Jaguar Land Rover sheds 200 jobs

JJaguar Land Rover has announced it is cutting 200 jobs at its UK car plants.
The carmaker is seeking voluntary redundancies from its 16,000-strong workforce who are based at its Castle Bromwich and Solihull factories, in the West Midlands and Halewood, Merseyside.
A spokesman for the firm told the BBC the plans were part of an efficiency drive and not connected to the current economic downturn.
Last month Jaguar Land Rover announced it was making a series of production cuts at its factories, which are due at the end of October.
Land Rover has suffered from falling sales over the year-to-date but Jaguar has increased its European volumes.
The job cuts follow the announcement last week that Volvo was axing 4,000 workers worldwide over what it described as the "drastic downturn" in the automotive market.

but has such a HUGE impact on people,
which makes it worth it's weight in gold"
