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.
The DIY retailer B & Q has announced it will cut 200 jobs at its head office in Chandler's Ford, near Eastleigh in Hampshire. A spokesperson for the company stated that the changes are necessary in order to improve efficiency and deliver simpler ways of working, and are part of wider changes across the Kingfisher group. The timeframe for the job losses has yet to be announced, though it is understood that the statutory consultation period between the company and the employees' representatives, the National People's Forum, is already underway.
