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.
Digital Technology company Incremental group has announced plans to create 110 new jobs as it continues to grow. The business was launched in November 2016 and employs 120 staff across five sites, and includes a range of public, charity and private sector organisations among its clients. The new jobs will be added to the company's Glasgow site and follow from a 1.2 million GBP (€1.33 million) Regional Selective Assistance (RSA) grant. The company hopes to have 500 UK staff by 2022. There is no information available on when these latest jobs are expected to be filled.
