I know of at least one major investment bank that internally has told staff they will move their head office out of London.


Which one?


Doesn't give names, but shows they're planning to move:

The FT is reckoning on a split across the Eurozone:

"But, as a small city with a population of less than 700,000 people, Frankfurt is seen as provincial and unpopular with staff. Dublin is English-speaking and attractive on tax grounds, but it is a relative backwater. The most likely outcome is that foreign banks with large operations in London will shift staff to a spread of eurozone locations where they already have operations — including Frankfurt, Dublin, Paris, Warsaw and Lisbon. That would fragment the financial services industry in Europe, potentially weakening the continent’s ability to compete internationally."

I can't say I'm afraid, I was told so in confidence by someone in HR at a major one. They'd already delayed salary reviews etc. over the last few weeks for this reason too.
