REBOOT: Boss Adrian Mardell

The Tata Motors-owned brand confirmed that staff will return to other integral production phases, including its “body shop, paint shop and logistics operations centre”.

Adrian Mardell, JLR’s outgoing chief executive, said: “This week marks an important moment for JLR and all our stakeholders as we now restart our manufacturing operations following the cyber incident.

We will welcome back our colleagues at our engine production plant in Wolverhampton, shortly followed by our colleagues making our world-class cars at Nitra [in Slovakia] and Solihull.”
