Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Galiform, the former owner of MFI, has said it will cut 560 jobs as part of plans to restructure its business. The company will shift production from a plant in Hull to Howden in Yorkshire, and will base warehousing at factory sites and a main centre in Northampton. It said that it would focus production of rigid kitchen cabinets and worktops at Runcorn, Cheshire and at Howden. However, Galiform added it would create 550 jobs at its Howden Joinery business, all but offsetting the cuts.
