Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst, Member of Parliament for Solihull West & Shirley, recently met with senior representatives from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) to discuss the company’s ongoing recovery following the recent cyber incident, as well as their plans for the future in the West Midlands.
During the meeting, Dr Shastri-Hurst was reassured by JLR’s detailed update on their post-incident operating plan. As a major employer in the area, supporting thousands of local families, suppliers, and apprentices, the stability of JLR’s operations is of vital importance to the community.
The discussion also highlighted JLR’s long-term vision for investment, skills development, and innovation. Dr Shastri-Hurst welcomed the company’s ongoing commitment to local growth, high-quality manufacturing, and the skilled workforce that makes the region a central part of the UK’s automotive sector.
Dr Shastri-Hurst reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with JLR and other key stakeholders to ensure that the local economy remains strong, competitive, and resilient in the years ahead.
