A worldwide survey has found that British firm, Jaguar Land Rover is the most trustworthy automotive supplier.
The annual study is conducted by IHS Automotive and surveys 1,000 middle and senior managers who have dealings with automotive manufacturers globally. It takes into account five aspects of service: profit potential, trust, pursuit of excellence, organisation and outlook.
Jaguar Land Rover was the frontrunner in two of the five categories and their overall score of 602 was an 11.7% improvement on their previous rating. The company supports an estimated 190,000 jobs in the UK and has been a massive UK economic success story in recent years. Treatment of supplier intellectual property and responsiveness in considering supplier technology were named as particular strengths in their operations.
Ian Harnett Director of Purchasing said: “Jaguar Land Rover has ambitious plans for growth which will see the introduction of new and refreshed product lines. Our ability to deliver these products to market lies with the ability of our suppliers to deliver quality components in volume. The suppliers’ view is testament to the responsive manner in which we work, and we are proud to have achieved the highest ratings ever in the history of the OEM study on suppliers’ view of Jaguar Land Rover’s long term outlook.”
