It also operates the largest supply chain in the UK automotive sector, much of it made up of SMEs, and employing around 120,000 people. The company took its systems offline and halted manufacturing operations after a cyber-attack at the end of August. It is planning to resume manufacturing operations on October 1st. Last week, JLR said that as part of a phased restart of operations, ‘sections of our digital estate are now up and running’.
