• Ireland has a shout at attracting finance jobs, especially in the asset management sector. Malta and Cyprus though, you're having a giggle if you think they are serious contenders for mass finance sector relocation.

  • Right, those small countries have done a great job of continually carving out niches for themselves, but they are not in of themselves centres.

    Just thinking aloud though do you still need a "centre" and if you do, how much work needs to be allocated there?

    One thing that is important imo is that London as a City is a massive draw. It is a truly amazing city.... Which I guess makes it's ours to loose.

  • You need centres because you want to be able to hire easily to replace leavers. That's a lot easier in a centre where you are trying to entice someone from across the street rather than a dispersed industry where you might be trying to entice someone from across a continent.
