Examinerships save 1,000 jobs in just six months but not all areas benefit

The examinership process saved more than 1,000 jobs in the first six months of this year.

The Hughes Blake SME Examinership Index found that 484 jobs in SMEs were saved, while 640 were saved in a single examinership of B&Q.

For small companies the process had a success rate of 75% with most troubled firms emerging in a better financial state.
