Jaguar Land Rover (JLS) are rumoured to be in the process of planning for expansion at its Halewood factory in Merseyside.

An expansion, which follows the success of the Range Rover Evoque which is constructed at the site located in Merseyside, could create up to 1,000 new positions.

The Range Rover Evoque has sold 210,190 units between January and June, with increased demand coming from China.

JLS have so far said that such rumours are pure speculation, but chose not to confirm or deny the construction of new facilities at the Halewood site.
