Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a prominent UK car manufacturer, has announced an extension of its production pause until October 1st. This decision follows a recent cyber-attack that has disrupted the company’s operations.
The incident occurs amidst a reported decline in the UK manufacturing sector’s output last month and is expected to have a consequential impact on JLR’s network of suppliers. In response to these developments, Business Secretary Peter Kyle is scheduled to visit JLR on Tuesday to engage with company representatives and its suppliers. JLR has indicated its intention to manage support for its supply chain independently, without direct state intervention.
