Jaguar Land Rover owner Tata has created 350 new jobs at its European HQ in the West Midlands and says the move reinforces the region’s status as a global hub for the automotive industry.
The Leamington Spa European Innovation and Development Centre (EIDC), which develops next-generation tech “expected to shape the future” of mobility, will see its team bolstered to around 1000 employees.
Tata says this undisclosed investment will also focus on developing a workforce for the future, with a Centre of Excellence ‘talent hub’ created through local partnerships with the University of Wolverhampton and the University of Warwick.
The EIDC site – which houses engineering support services, two advanced engineering labs and an R&D centre – also caters for the aerospace and industrial machinery sectors in European, US and Asia-Pacific markets.
