When a cyberattack halted production at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in the third quarter of 2025, suppliers faced an immediate liquidity challenge, with financing needed before invoices could be raised. Crédit Agricole CIB structured a £500 million facility that allowed qualifying suppliers to receive payments at the point of order rather than after invoicing, while preserving JLR’s standard payment terms. The solution provided critical liquidity during the recovery, helping JLR restart production in October 2025.
It captured Dominique Honoré’s larger ambition – making a traditionally product-led trade finance business respond to clients’ problems, rather than asking clients to fit established products.
Honoré is an engineer by training who has spent her banking career close to trade and corporate clients.
