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.
Vaping firm VPZ, based in Edinburgh, announced plans to create 1,000 new jobs across 200 new retail outlets. The company already has 125 stores across the country and this expansion is planned to expand its presence in Wales and the South East. The company has said that the increased demand for alternatives to traditional tobacco products will support these plans for new stores. The job positions are not limited to retail roles, but cover as well roles in the company's manufacturing and finance departments. It is expected that the process will take three years to complete.
