LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) – Barclays (BARC.L) said on Wednesday it would move its investment banking staff in London to its neighboring headquarters, consolidating offices in the Canary Wharf financial district.
The British bank has announced that it will move out of 5 North Colonnade, where the investment bank is based, by the end of 2022 and plans to renovate its towering 32-story One Churchill Place building.
Barclays said the move was part of a long-term review of its real estate footprint, as banks around the world cut real estate as part of a transition to more working from home during the COVID pandemic. 19.
In recent years, the bank has moved from locations scattered across the countries in which it operates to a âcampusâ model of consolidating its offices into one location.
In 2018, Barclays opened such an office complex in Whippany, New Jersey, bringing together operations and technology staff from across America.
It also has campuses in Glasgow, Scotland and Pune in India.
