We’re a bit late with this piece of news, but we thought it was definitely worth sharing with you. Before Christmas, Jaguar did its thing for injured British troops by providing a chauffeur service from Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court in Surrey.

Headley Court is a hospital that provides rehabilitation and care for severely injured servicemen and women, including poly-trauma amputees. The soldiers were driven to destinations as diverse as Hull, Wales, Shropshire, Yorkshire and Lincoln in order to allow them time with their families. We’re told that Jaguar even took one soldier to Inverness, over 450 miles!

Commanding Officer Group Captain C S Walton commented;

I would like to thank everyone at Jaguar Cars for giving our patients the opportunity to travel home and start their well earned Christmas break in such a stylish and special fashion. I am truly inspired by the many generous gifts and offers given to our patients at Christmas time.

Jeremy Hicks, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover UK said;

We are extremely proud to provide our vehicles and drivers to benefit our service men and women by helping them get home for Christmas. We are pleased to be supporting an exceptional rehabilitation centre that offers an immeasurable service to the MoD.
