Adrian Mardell, the Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar Land Rover, is stepping down from his role after more than three decades with the company, including three years as CEO.
JLR have confirmed Adrian’s departure and has said that a successor will be named in due course. Mardell’s exit comes during a huge chapter for the British carmaker, following its much-discussed plan to transform Jaguar into an all-electric luxury brand.
While the rebrand has proven quite controversial to some, the company has said that the decision to step down had been planned well in advance and is unrelated to feedback from the rebrand.
During his time as CEO, Mardell led JLR through its most profitable period in a decade, even as the automotive industry faced significant challenges. Last month, the company revealed plans to cut up to 500 management roles in the UK, a move linked to trade tensions with the US and a pause in American exports due to tariffs.
I think I speak on behalf of the whole Bridge Classic Cars team when I say that I wish Adrian all the best.
