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.
ScottishPower is to cut 450 jobs across Britain until 2007. The Glasgow-based energy firm said 270 jobs would be lost in Scotland, saving the company £60 million a year. The decision followed the sale of its US division, PacifiCorp, in May 2005, making it a 'smaller company generating far less revenue', and it said it would try to avoid compulsory redundancies among its 8,000 staff. In the first round of cuts, 120 positions will go at the Cathcart business park in Glasgow and 90 at offices in Bellshill. The announcement comes a month after four executives were made redundant.
