McLaren to Invest £450M and Create 1,000 Jobs in UK
British sports car manufacturer McLaren plans to invest around £450 million (approx. €520 million) in its technology center in Woking, UK, creating 1,000 new jobs. The investment is part of a strategic overhaul led by CEO Nick Collins. McLaren currently employs 2,500 people.

The plan follows a merger with Forseven Holdings in April 2025 and aims to revitalize the loss-making division amidst pressure on the UK auto industry from tariffs, Chinese competition, and EV mandates.
