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.
Food takeaway chain, Domino's Pizza is to create 350 new jobs in Ireland. The new positions are being recruited due to an increase in takeaway sales during lockdown and will allow the company to keep stores open later.
The new roles include management positions, team members and delivery drivers. The company will provide training in customer service and food quality, as well as individual training for pizza chefs and other specific roles.
As of July 2021, it is still not clear when the recruitment will start and when the recruitment will be finished. But the company announced that 175 additional staff had already been recruited across its operations in Northern Ireland last month.
The company currently employs almost 2,000 staff and contract workers across its 85 Irish stores.
