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.
Online electrical retailer AO World has announced plans to create 100 new jobs as it moves its operations into a new digital hub in Manchester city centre. The new centre will house the sales team and a large part of the IT team. Staff at the current warehouse and HQ in Bolton will not be affected by the move. Details about when the jobs will be filled have not been reported, though a spokesperson for the company indicated that part of the reason for the new recruitment was to help deal with increased demand around 'Black Friday'.
