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.
Kidzania, the company which operates children's activity centres, has announced that it is to create its first British centre in London. The development, which will happen at the Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds Bush will create 450 jobs. Of these, more than 200 are expected to be supervisory positions. The centre is due to open early in 2015.
The Kidzania franchise will be operated by Longshot Kids, a company which now holds the franchise for Great Britain and Ireland. Further centres are being planned; another in East London and one in either Birmingham or Manchester.
