Furthermore, any company, be it finance, manufacturing, etc. will come under pressure now if foreign investment is involved.
Driven a Land Rover so a pro lol, I work for the company and have done for years. You sir have no clue what you are talking about as far as JLR goes, 2020 is the current business plan and a town hall is an annual event were they go through the past year and talk futures changes. Brexit hasn't changed anything regarding their business plans and that is not speculation but fact.

I don't consider myself an expert, point out where I've said that, on Landrover because I drive them, more a case of liking them. I know the banter that goes on on the shop floor as I was there in the formative years of my working life, so glad
if my comments gave you a little chuckle. However, if Landrover sadly goes belly up at least I'll get some solace from the fact that you two will be sat watching Jeremy Kyle instead of clocking on!

Think I'd rather believe what the CEO of Jaguar/Landrover in the original articles I read before than a couple of spanner monkeys I'm afraid.
In one of the articles, which I originally read prior to my post, the aforementioned gentleman mentions that Europe is a big market!

Europe as I said is dominated by the German companies, JLR market share is tiny by comparison. Middle East, Japan, Brazil & UK making big numbers but still out performed by the Germans on Land Rover side and the Italians on the jag side.
Btw don't use the daily mail as a reference it makes you look a fool.
JLR are expanding to meet demand with the new convertible and already preparing for something special early 2019, JLR are healthy, growing and in their own words not effected by brexit. You have no clue what you are talking about and no matter how many times you reply that shines through

I've read what's on the links I've posted and that's enough for me. As I have already stated I will take what the CEO of Jaguar/Landrover says in the articles over a spanner monkey in this instance, after all he is your gaffer and tells you what you want to hear!
You concentrate on reducing the waiting time on my new Disco sport instead of posting on here on works time!
Have a nice night! :D
PS Will you be working Satdy night?

just admit you chatted shit and got called on it, you mention the CEO but miss his name strange that. As for your new discovery sport if you haven't received it you never order one, all JLR cars are made to order and the backlog is on convertibles.

As for the grease monkey comment and your obvious daily mail readership, I'm happy to tell you I don't even get my hands dirty at work and the hours are good. My pay for my position is excellent, so glad you took an interest.

You chat more shit than Connor McGregor

Relf Speth, will that do for yer?
Read the articles, it's all there!
CEO or spanner monkey, who knows what's going on? There's a reason why you are playing with your nuts and he's dining somebody to do it for him! :D

Ralf you mean, he does the big speech at the start the town hall event (recorded obviously) he then hands off to the people who actually run JLR.

Here's a segment from that interview
No deviation
Speth said that the outcome didn't affect JLR's investment plans in the country, where it has three vehicle production plants. “Britain may have voted to leave, but at JLR our strategy endures,”
Now stay quiet you idiot, your own source confirmed no change.

Plus for full disclosure the article then speculates
However, the split could halt any plans JLR had to relieve local capacity constraints by building a fourth UK factory, which has been reported by the UK media but not confirmed. Industry watchers believe Brexit will force those plans to be shelved.
They extended Halewood instead which I already mentioned to meet demand
JLR sells about 20 percent of its cars in Europe
That figure includes the UK which again confirms Europe isn't a major market for JLR.

Enjoy driving your JLR product but that doesn't mean you know anything about the company, it's my job to know and have done multiple presentations on it.

Now stop scaremongering to try and prove a dead point

On a happier side new car sales have just hit a record high after a gradual rise over the last 6 months (will be announce today). So brexit hasn't effected the automobile industry at all in this country, it's thriving.
