A year ago, David Ingleson was working as head of resourcing for Jaguar Land Rover, the car company, in the UK Midlands. He was appointed to recruit 600 engineers for the company following Tata Motors’ purchase of Jaguar Land Rover from Ford in June 2008, in a deal worth $2.3bn. Then things went pear-shaped.
In May he took voluntary redundancy from the company and in September enrolled on the local, full-time MBA programme at Warwick Business School. “I quickly came to the conclusion that an MBA was what I wanted to do,” he says.
