Fixing the Chain

Currently

Available for over a year

Jaguar Land Rover were one of the biggest names to be held to ransom by online hackers in the UK when their systems were brought to a halt earlier this year. The production lines ground to halt - and their financial situation became so dire that the government had to step in. It meant that Jaguar Land Rover managed to weather the storm, albeit with huge losses. But what happened to the small suppliers who relied on the Jaguar Land Rover supply chain for their livelihood? Nick Garnett talks to business owners across the UK - from the local chip shop to factory owners to find out what happened to them when the supply chain broke - and how it can be fixed to avoid the same problems when the hackers strike again. Producer and Presenter: Nick Garnett A Mediamouth production with 麻豆社 Audio North for Radio 4
