Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Jaguar Fires Design Boss Behind Type 00 Concept
Caption: Jaguar Fires Design Boss Behind Type 00 Concept. The automaker has reportedly fired long-time design chief Gerry McGovern, according to Autocar and Autocar India. McGovern was reportedly “escorted out of the office” earlier this week, though Jaguar has declined to comment on the matter. This firing follows a storm of criticism surrounding Jaguar’s rebrand and the Type 00 concept, which many fans found disappointing. The news comes just days after former CEO Adrian Mardell retired, making way for PB Balaji, the new CEO with 32 years of experience at Tata Motors, Jaguar’s parent company. While details are sparse, it seems Balaji is keen to reset the direction at Jaguar Land Rover following the negative feedback on the brand’s recent moves. McGovern’s departure marks the end of a 21-year tenure at JLR, where he worked across both Jaguar and Land Rover. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
