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.
Telecommunications company BT has announced plans to recruit for 590 new positions in its cyber security team. The expansion is part of a drive to recruit 900 jobs worldwide. In addition to the UK positions, jobs are expected to be located elsewhere in Europe, in the Middle East and in the Asia-Pacific region. In the UK jobs will be spread across six sites (Cheltenham, Ipswich, Swindon, Sevenoaks, London and Cardiff) though the numbers at each site have yet to be confirmed. BT expects that 170 of the 590 jobs will be filled by graduates and apprentices and that recruitment will take place over a period of about twelve months.
