The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is progressing its commitment to move its HQ by September 2019. It has signed an ‘Agreement for Lease’ on a refurbished building in Canary Wharf that will lead to significant savings in accommodation costs.

This relocation fits with the wider government effort to drive down property costs. The CMA expects to see around a 45% reduction in the average rent (including any VAT payable) for its new accommodation on an annual basis and for the life of the tenancy. This relocation can play a pretty big part in the success of the business and can help produce more jobs and careers, especially with any expansion that may happen. To help with this new relocation, there are relocation companies in london that can assist with making a smooth transition from office to office, freeing up the time of others to deal with important business changes during this time.

The move will provide the CMA with the facilities it requires and ensure it can work efficiently with businesses and other regulators based in London. It also allows it to carry out its expansion plans in preparation for the UK’s exit from the European Union.

It comes alongside the CMA’s opening of a larger office in Edinburgh, to which it is currently recruiting staff. This will allow it to build stronger and wider relationships and to carry out UK-wide projects from Scotland as well as London.
