Brexit: Jobs leaving London 'lower than expected'

The CEO of Paris Europlace was put on the spot about the disappointing result on France 24 on Thursday.

Host Stephen Carroll explained: “It’s one of the many consequences of Brexit - a race by European cities to win what was thought to be tens of thousands of jobs that would leave London. But three years later the numbers estimated to move are much lower and fewer still have actually relocated.

“Three years ago we were full of optimism that there would be huge movement of companies and jobs out of London as a result of Brexit but we haven’t really seen that materialise.

“It’s a smaller move than we had originally expected - it seems that the numbers are closer to the hundreds than the thousands or tens of thousands.”
