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.
Nestle has announced plans to close its site in Castleford, which employs 210 people. The site manufactures the company's After Eight and Toffee Crisp products. It hopes to move the work to sites in Halifax and Fawdon, in Newcastle upon Tyne and has identified that 120 jobs would be available to workers as part of the relocation at those sites. The union representing workers at the site, Unite, has said that the closure was a "body blow" for the town and that it hoped that workers would be able to move to the Halifax site which is 26 miles from Castleford.
