Goods news for JLR employees and especially the Merseyside area.
"Thursday 7 October 2021, Halewood – Jaguar Land Rover has started manufacturing its own press tools in-house for the first time following a £1.7m investment at its Halewood plant. The company had previously outsourced the production of its press tools, so this will allow it to drive efficiency and quality, as well as give employees the opportunity to learn new skills, to build and operate these tools. The investment involves the installation of a new Press Die Manufacturing Centre - the first of its kind in Jaguar Land Rover, with a state-of-the-art five-axis milling machine, which manufactures press tools – known as blanking dies - from raw castings. The blanking dies are the first stage in the manufacture of car body panels, during new vehicle production." "This investment has given the tooling workforce a real boost as we are doing things we didn’t think we would ever get to do at Halewood. This is the last year of my apprenticeship so it’s brilliant to see what the future has in store for the team. It’s also exciting for the new apprentices joining the company this month. They probably never expected to be making the tools themselves. Hannah Cocklin - Tool Room Apprentice"  Click image to enlarge https://www.jaguarlandrover.com/news/2021/...investment |

When it say JLR brings tool manufacturing in-house, are they talking about the Exec board that have screwed up JLR e.g.Mega ego McGovern and his disciples
