The UK automotive industry is facing tough times, as starkly demonstrated by the recent news about JLR cutting around 4000 jobs, so it’s important to note when there is positive progress, too.
McLaren will create at least 1000 direct jobs as part of a £500 million investment in a second UK production site for its much-anticipated line-up of new models, including an SUV. Meanwhile, Nissan will invest £170 million to bring a new model, the Kicks, to its Sunderland plant, where it will help to safeguard jobs on Wearside.
