Pushed, pulled, but definitely moving

Article Abstract:

Surveys show that more than 50% of London-based companies have considered or are considering moving out of the city for a variety of reasons. Some of the factors driving this trend are the high rents and land values of property in London, the desire to lessen overhead costs, the termination of existing leases, low unemployment rates in Greater London, and greater emphasis on the quality of life. Relocation activities in the private sector are taking two directions: the move from central London to the outer parts of the city or to the South East, and the move from the city to other regions of the UK. In the public sector, relocation activities are motivated by political reasons rather than economic ones. The primary consideration for relocating public agencies is the generation of jobs in places that need economic stimulation.

They're paid how much?!

Article Abstract:

There is increased interest in the remuneration of directors of corporations in the UK. Legislators, regulators, industry representatives, academics and users of financial reports are all working toward improving governance structures and greater transparency of payments to directors. Recent developments concerning their efforts include the publication of the House of Commons Employment Committee's third report on executive compensation, which proposes US SEC-like disclosure of remuneration, and the issuance of the Greenbury Report, which recommends the creation of remuneration committees. The Stock Exchange issued Amendment 6 to its Listing Rules to facilitate the application of the Greenbury proposals. The bourse now requires financial statements to include a detailed report on directors' compensation packages.
