ISG begins work at £50m Jaguar Land Rover Halewood plant
ISG has started work on a £50 million scheme to expand Jaguar Land Rover (JLR)’s Halewood factory in Merseyside.
The Halewood plant was initially opened by Ford in 1963 and earlier this year JLR announced that it was set to become its first all-electric production facility.
The project will see us build a 350,000 sq ft unit close to the company’s existing plant in Knowsley, allowing JLR to expand storage and production capacity for its Body in White operations, a stage of car production relating to the welding together of the frame.
"I am proud to announce we are accelerating our electrification path, making one of our UK plants and our next-generation medium-size luxury SUV architecture fully electric. This investment enables us to deliver to our modern luxury electric future, developing new skills, and reaffirming our commitment to be carbon net zero by 2039."
Adrian Mardell, Chief Executive Officer
