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.
Healthcare Environmental Services (HES) has confirmed that it has ceased to operate resulting in the loss of all 400 jobs. The company, which had its headquarters in North Lanarkshire as well as ten regional centres across the UK, had lost contracts with National Health Service Scotland and 17 National Health Service trusts in England to dispose of clinical waste after it was found to be stockpiling waste. Workers have been given notices of redundancy, though it is not clear how services will be maintained in the future and whether some workers might be transferred to new contractors under the Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment (TUPE) provisions.
