We’re really pleased with what’s happened – there are some great calibre individuals at Vivendi and in the end, while some people chose to consider their futures elsewhere, a lot of people decided to join us.

The reality is that practically everybody made redundant chose that option. It certainly wasn’t that we said ‘Okay, let’s cut the workforce’ – it didn’t work like that at all.

We offered people a lot more jobs than were taken in the end. And weÂ’ve tried to make sure everybody who did come across felt that it was a positive move. I think a lot of people made the active choice to join the business rather than feeling they were in a corner.
