JLR has escorted long-standing design boss Gerry McGovern out of the building. Could this be the right time for Jaguar to Stop Being Weird and Start Being Good again?
If you felt a disturbance in the British automotive force this week, you weren’t imagining it. Gerry McGovern – the man who shaped the modern Range Rover empire and one of the most powerful design figures in the global car industry – has reportedly been fired from Jaguar Land Rover.
Multiple reports (Autocar, Top Gear, Financial Times) confirm that McGovern was removed suddenly, with some sources claiming he was escorted out of JLR headquarters in Gaydon. That alone tells you this wasn’t a polite reshuffle. This was decisive. Swift. Brutal. And historic.
