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.
WS Atkins, an engineering firm, is to cut 260 jobs at Epsom in Surrey. The cuts come as part of a wider job cutting programme by the company, which is seeking to reduce its global headcount by 1,000 from 18,000. The jobs are being cut as a result of the economic downturn although, as of 15 February 2009, no announcement has been made as to when these jobs will be cut, or how many jobs will remain in the UK.
