UK firms move more head office roles outside London amid soaring costs
U K companies are increasingly moving head office jobs outside of London, according to new data, amid rising living and housing costs in the capital.
Figures from analytics firm Vacancysoft showed that London-based job advertisements in executive management, human resources and marketing made up 41 per cent of all open roles last year, dropping from nearly 50 per cent immediately before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
The North of England and Midlands have gained a bigger share of the total during this period, with Manchester positioning itself as an alternative to London.
Recent years have seen more businesses expand outside London in response to inflation raising salaries and remote working trends leading to smaller offices and less reliance on commuting.
A slowdown in dealmaking, fuelled by economic uncertainty and high interest rates, has pushed banks and professional services companies in the Square Mile to cut costs and reverse much of the hiring done immediately after Covid-19 lockdowns.
London saw a 50 per cent drop in job listings last year, the most of any region, according to Vacancysoft.
The capital’s housing crisis has also deterred young professionals from moving to London. Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics showed home rental costs in the capital jumped at a record pace in February to an average of more than £2,000 per month.
“For policymakers looking to stimulate the London economy, these findings should cause concern,” Vacancysoft chief executive James Chaplin told Bloomberg News .
“The trend to regionalisation is undeniable. Occupancy ratios remain below pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile Manchester increasingly is positioning itself as the capital of the North.”
“People graduating from Manchester University, for example, no longer feel they have to go to London to advance their careers,” he added. “Manchester has leading institutions across finance, law and technology clustered there.”

Scientists working on AI tech to match dogs up with the perfect owners
By Ian Lee , Tina Kraus
Updated on: March 28, 2024 / 3:10 PM EDT / CBS News
London — When Londoner Chelsea Battle first met her cavapoo Peanut, it was love at first sight.
"He's my son," she told CBS News, calling her bond with her dog "one of the most important relationships in my life."
Chelsea adopted Peanut during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I think it's really important to understand that dogs have different personalities, and you need to find the one that's best for you," Chelsea said. "I lucked out."
Their bond is strong, and picking a dog or other pet often comes down to a gut feeling. But computer scientists at the University of East London are hoping to take some of the chance out of the process. They're using artificial intelligence to help predict the personality types of individual dogs , so they can be better matched with humans.
"These personality types are defined based on the behavioral attributes, not the breed, not the gender of the dog," Dr. Mohammad Amirhosseini, a senior lecturer in computer science and digital technology at the university, told CBS News.
Using behavioral records from more than 70,000 dogs from the University of Pennsylvania, the British researchers developed an AI algorithm to classify canines into five groups — you might even call them personality types.
"Our best performing model achieved 99% accuracy, which is amazing," said Amirhosseini.
They found that dogs can be sorted into one of the following categories:
- Excitable and hyper-attached
- Anxious and fearful
- Aloof and predatory
- Reactive and assertive
- Calm and agreeable.
With this information in hand, the researchers hope to eventually be able to predict the best specific dogs — not just breeds — for an array tasks from sniffing out drugs to guiding the blind, and maybe even cuddling the kids.
Currently, more than half of dogs put into training for specific jobs, such as security or guide work, fail their programs, according to the American Kennel Club.
"If we have an idea about the dog's personality in advance," said Amirhosseini, "we can select the right dog for the right job."
He said he hoped that one day, the AI technology will be readily available to help families looking to adopt a dog find one that's perfect for them. Right now, about half of dogs rescued from shelters in the U.S. end up being returned by the owners, and behavioral issues are very often cited as a factor.
The researchers hope that as they develop the AI tool, it will help to create more successful adoptions.
