Judging by the faults on new Defender perhaps it’s best he goes now. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Looks like the replacement was actually lined up well before the Nick Rogers announcement.
Click image to enlarge "Jaguar Land Rover has appointed Matt Becker, one of the UK’s most respected vehicle engineers, to lead the development of the new breed of electrified Jaguars and Land Rovers. Matt Becker joins JLR at the end of January following a seven-year stint at Aston Martin as Chief Engineer – Vehicle Attribute Engineering, overseeing the development of the DBX SUV plus the Vantage and DB11, and their various derivatives. Becker will take on the role of Vehicle Engineering Director across both Jaguar and Land Rover." " Becker left Aston Martin in the summer of 2021 and was immediately placed on gardening leave, being widely expected to join McLaren." https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/jaguar/35715...ss-retires |

JLR is starting to sound like our Navy, more Admiral's than ships being produced……..
