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.
The Bordeaux subsidiary of the transport group Keolis has announced the recruitment of 210 people this year on permanent and full-time contracts. Keolis Bordeaux manages the city's trams, buses, river shuttles and self-service bicycles. It employs currently 2,620 people, including 1,720 drivers. One of the particularities of this major recruiter is that it offers a new path to employees in the second half of their career, who are looking for a stable position in Bordeaux. Forty percent of the 180 drivers who will be recruited this year do not yet have a D licence (which is needed for public passengers transportation), and the company will provide training.
