Gerry McGovern, 69, the chief creative officer, was said to have been “escorted out of the office”. The industry publication Autocar is reporting that he was asked to leave the firm on Monday.
A spokesperson for JLR declined to comment. McGovern could not be reached for comment.
D’ye think it was because he gave his password to the hackers?
Just making sure he didn’t copy nothing.
I would think it’s more because he oversaw the development of a weird car that looked nothing like a Jag and tried to sell it to people via an ad with no car but dozens of sullen transes, Africans, Chinese etc.
The chief exec should resign too, of course.
I don’t think Jag is salvageable anyway – my dad had them in the 80s, 90s, and 00s, and they were shite all the way through.
I tried to convince him to go Mercedes (or perhaps Lexus) but he never did.
