Description

Lexel, the cosmetic group specialising in home sales, was declared bankrupt in July by the Commercial Court of Montpellier, which lead to a social plan for 500 redundancies. New investors took over the company on 10th September and have decided to make a further 10 posts redundant in order to preserve the remaining 190 jobs.
