Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced an extension of its production suspension across its factories, including UK facilities in Solihull, Halewood, and Wolverhampton, until at least October 1st. This ongoing suspension follows a recent cyber incident. Government ministers are scheduled to meet with JLR executives and representatives from its supply chain to discuss the situation. Concerns have been articulated by politicians and union leaders regarding potential impacts on businesses within the supply network, particularly smaller firms. JLR released a statement acknowledging the challenging period for all involved and affirming its focus on supporting customers, suppliers, and employees. Reports from sources have previously suggested the disruption could continue into November.
