The Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, Black Country Chamber of Commerce and Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce have opened the new survey to find out how businesses are managing in the aftermath of the cyber-attack that hit JLR at the start of September.
The questions focus on the financial pressures suppliers are under and what support is still required.
Corin Crane, chief executive of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “Our initial survey had 84 responses from firms in the supply chain which covered 29,700 employees in the region.
“Nearly half told us that they faced serious financial repercussions and while it’s great that JLR has begun operations again, the crisis isn’t over.”
Black Country Chamber of Commerce CEO Sarah Moorhouse concluded: “Our members are continually telling us about the ongoing issues they are still facing. By conducting this new survey, it means we can feed critical, up-to-date information back to Government.
“This will help us keep up the pressure to ensure that the right support is getting to those who need it most and, importantly, that it is at a level that will keep tier ones and the downstream supply chain going until operations get back to normal.”
