Vertu Motors has landed a multi-million pound payout after suffering from the disruption caused by a cyber-attack at Jaguar Landrover.

The AIM-listed car dealership said it was able to agree a £3.9m business interruption claim from its insurers after the attack “disrupted JLR vehicle supply, parts availability and connected systems used by JLR franchised retailers.”

Insurers have already handed Vertu a £1m interim payment, the firm said, with the full some to be recognised in its financial year to the end of February 2026.

As a result of the payout, Vertu said its pre-tax profit for the year was set to come in well ahead of investor expectations of £21.6m.

Despite the upgrade, the news sent Vertu’s shares down 3.7 per cent to 62p in early morning trade on Thursday.
