The Jaguar (Coventry) Band has announced that with immediate effect they will now be known as Jaguar Land Rover Band.

Reflection

The name change reflects the continued close working relationship between the band and car manufacturers over the past decade, supporting numerous promotional and charity events throughout the country.

"This name change shows the continuing working relationship Jaguar Land Rover has with the band," stated Les Ratcliffe, Head of Community Relations to 4BR.

"The band is an integral part of our community programme, helping to raise thousands of pounds each year for community groups and charities throughout the UK and we look forward to expanding our work together in the future. The band is a great ambassador for us and the work we do in the community."
