Tata to appoint senior Ford boss?
Tata is expected to appoint a senior Ford executive to run Jaguar and Land Rover should it succeed in acquiring the two brands.
According to the Sunday Times, senior industry sources have claimed that owner Rajan Tata is likely to name a top Ford executive in Europe as chief executive of the Jaguar-Land Rover group.
Geoff Polities, an Australian car-industry veteran, currently holds the chief executive role.
It is believed that Tata plans to make few immediate changes to the way the British brands operate and will keep UK operations and current model plans intact.
