    Lloyds of London

    Setup shop in Brussels

    #2
    They do 11% of their business in Europe so they've set up a subsidiary organisation there.

    McDonalds do a lot of business in the UK, so they've got a big shiny office here. Not only that, they're moving their European Headquarters to the UK too.

      I'm sure that 1000 people will take back control of their lives now.

      U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May’s plan to pull Britain out of the European single market has prompted international banks and insurers to begin looking to move jobs to other EU countries. Estimates for the number of people who could move range from 4,000 to more than 200,000.

        Estimates from 4,000 to over 200,000?

        Wow, with that degree of accuracy, sasguru could look accurate.

          I reckon a lot more business would go to that subsidiary

              Lloyds do 89% of their business in the UK?

              I don't think so.

                Yep, most of their business got to be international - all this will go to Brussels too.

                  Are you saying it is possible to trade internationally outside the EU? Why did no one say this before?!

                    Breaking news:
                    Lloyds of London trade globally. 11% is European mainland. 89% is rest of the world, including the UK.

                    Clueless guessing, standard bremoan speculation.
