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.
Logistics Company Gist has confirmed that the site at Eccleshall has closed following a consultation process with affected employees. The site employed 150 full time staff and around 60 part time and agency staff. A spokesperson for the local council commented that a taskforce had been set up through the consultation period which has resulted in some redeployment within the Gist group and has also helped workers find jobs within other logistics companies. The exact number of workers who have been unable to secure aternative employment is however unclear. The site closed on 6 April 2018 at the end of the consultation process.
