JLR – the British car company formerly known as Jaguar Land Rover – has reportedly parted company with its chief creative officer, professor Gerry McGovern OBE. Reports suggest that it was a sudden thing, with Gerry escorted from his office earlier this week, although the official line from JLR is a firm “no comment”.
JLR, it seems, is never far from controversy. The company ground to a halt earlier this year when it was subject to a sophisticated cyber attack – from factory lines to design and engineering, work stopped for weeks on end – with production only recently restarting.
