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.
Amazon, the US-based e-commerce company, has announced that it will create 2,500 jobs in the UK by the end of 2018.
The company’s UK country manager has said that all the new positions will be full-time ones and include a range of skills levels from highly skilled to entry-level posts. These jobs will be in head office, research and development, web services and operations roles. The new jobs will be available across Britain: at Amazon’s UK head office in London; in development centres in Cambridge, Edinburgh and London; a customer service centre in Edinburgh and at a number of delivery stations and ‘fulfilment centres’ in Coventry and Bolton.
Earlier this year, the group has announced that it will create 400 new jobs in its new centre in Rugby.
