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.
Ceridian, a Scottish human resource company, has said it will create more than 250 new jobs in Scotland, after securing a grant. Ceridian is extending operations in the west of Scotland and claimed at least 250 posts would be created over the next three years. The firm supplies HR services including payroll, performance management and employee assistance programmes. The Scottish Executive awarded the firm a grant of 2.6 million GBP to expand its Glasgow operation, which employs 80 staff. The scheme provides grants for investment projects that will create or safeguard jobs in areas designated for regional aid under European community law.
Doug Sawers, managing director of Ceridian in the UK, said: 'It is our objective to scale our Glasgow facility into the most modern and effective centre for human resources customer support and software development in the UK.'
'The decision to expand our operations in western Scotland follows an extensive search, during which a number of different regions in the UK were considered.'
Deputy First Minister, Nicol Stephen, said: 'The decision by Ceridian to increase its investment in western Scotland is very welcome and has been won in the face of strong competition.'
'First class job opportunities will be created in Glasgow in the fast growing HR outsourcing sector.'
