Coventry taxi maker LTC resumes production after a year

Full-scale production of black cabs will restart next week in Coventry, the Chinese firm Geely has said.

Taxi-maker London Taxi Company (LTC), which used to be known as LTI, went into administration in October 2012 and was bought by Geely six months ago.

Of the 176 employees at the Holyhead Road plant, 99 lost their jobs.

Geely has said it would try to re-employ as many former workers as possible.

For the past year, the remaining workforce of 77 has been repairing vehicles.
