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.
Ford have announced the creation of 200 manufacturing jobs at its Bridgend engine plant. The firm said the jobs would be added to its 1,685 workforce at the plant to cope with an increase in production. It has said that more than 800,000 petrol engines were produced at Bridgend in recent months. The planned expansion by the company is to increase that figure to more than a million every year produced at the site and at its Dagenham plant in Essex by 2009.
Bridgend plant manager Bob Murphy said: 'Co-operation from employees and unions is enabling us to meet rising orders for our advanced technology, high quality engines.'
