"Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed that production in its factories will remain suspended until next month at the earliest. The business secretary and industry minister are visiting JLR on Tuesday for the first time since the cyber attack to meet with the company and firms in the beleaguered carmaker's supply chain. The company has been unable to produce cars since the cyber attack at the end of August forced it to shut down its IT networks."
"JLR has confirmed that its factories - including its UK facilities in Solihull, Halewood and Wolverhampton - won't resume operations until at least October 1. "Our focus remains on supporting our customers, suppliers, colleagues, and our retailers who remain open," JLR said in a statement confirming the shutdown extension. "We fully recognise this is a difficult time for all connected with JLR and we thank everyone for their continued support and patience.""
Jaguar Land Rover has suspended production at its factories until at least October 1 following a late‑August cyber attack that forced IT network shutdowns. UK facilities affected include Solihull, Halewood and Wolverhampton. The company says its focus is supporting customers, suppliers, colleagues and retailers that remain open and thanks stakeholders for their patience. Government ministers Chris McDonald and Peter Kyle are visiting to meet the company and supply‑chain firms. Industry minister McDonald said priorities are restarting production and protecting the long‑term health of the supply chain, and the government will seek to reassure suppliers facing financial hardship. Suppliers are anxious to be heard, according to Johnathan Dudley.
