Breaking News: Jaguar Land Rover Resumes Production Amid Cyber-Attack Aftermath
Jaguar Land Rover is set to restart some production this week, two weeks after a major cyber-attack forced the company to shut down factories and send workers home. The first site to go back online will be JLR's engine factory in Wolverhampton.
The resumption of operations comes as welcome relief to JLR's suppliers, many of whom have faced huge financial pressure since the attack at the end of August. Manufacturing is expected to return gradually across other sites in the West Midlands and Merseyside.
JLR's shutdown has had a significant impact on its suppliers, with some small businesses facing a month or more without income while still having to pay bills. The UK government recently announced a 1.5bn loan guarantee for JLR's parts and service suppliers.
The company is expected to take several weeks to return to full capacity, but the restart of production marks an important step in getting its operations back on track. This is a developing story, with further updates to follow as more information becomes available.
