JLR resumes production after cyberattack; introduces new supplier payment scheme

Business Oct 07, 2025

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is gradually restarting its UK factories this week, with international sites to follow, following a cyberattack that hit on August 31, 2025.
Production had to pause for a bit, but now key UK sites—like the Wolverhampton engine plant and Hams Hall battery center—are first in line to get rolling again.

JLR introduces new supplier payment scheme

JLR's recovery isn't just about cars; they're also looking out for their suppliers.
To keep things moving smoothly, they've rolled out a new payment scheme that gets money to suppliers faster than usual.
This upfront payment plan aims to help partners stay afloat after the disruption, and JLR says their automated payment systems are back online as well.
