The Bank of England has encountered hurdles in expanding its Leeds office as only 156 employees have expressed interest in moving from London, indicating recruitment challenges ahead.
Despite plans for one in ten staff to be based in Leeds by 2027, internal interest falls short, suggesting reliance on external hiring may become necessary.
Governor Andrew Bailey's vision of a stronger regional presence and engaging with local businesses faces obstacles, demonstrated by the low number of staff willing to relocate.
The potential of Leeds as a financial hub remains strong, but history shows that relocating employees from London poses significant challenges, as seen with past corporate moves.
