popular model are up 22% year to date (Apr 2010 - Feb 2011) compared with the same 11 month period in

Halewood Operations Director Richard Else, commented: "This milestone achievement and the increasing sales
for Freelander 2 highlight just how important this vehicle is, not just to Halewood but also for the regional
and UK economy - around 70% of Freelanders produced at Halewood are exported overseas. I'd like to thank our
flexible and highly skilled workforce and congratulate the Halewood team on this superb achievement."
