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.
Sewan, a telecommunications company founded in 2007, has announced the recruitment of around 100 employees in 2019. Most of the new hires will be in Paris, but also at the Lyon, Le Havre, and Montpellier offices. Among the new announced positions, 50% are aimed at network developers and technicians, 10% at engineers and 20% at customer service representatives. The new employees will work on Sewan's three main areas, namely communication, connection and hosting. The future employees will also support the company's international expansion: after the acquisition of Vozélia, the Spanish operator, at the end of 2017, the company is on the lookout for opportunities in Germany, in the United Kingdom, in Belgium and Italy.
Sewan currently employs 400 people and already recruited 150 people in 2018.
