BBC office relocation said to be ‘value’ at £3.2m

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

The watchdog entrusted with getting the best out of the BBC for licence payers was under fire today after it emerged it had spent £3.2 million on new premises.

The BBC Trust signed a £2.2 million eight-year lease for the new HQ in Great Portland Street — one of London’s best addresses.

Another £1 million was spent on refurbishing the building, of which more than £400,000 was spent on “construction and fit out” and £250,000 on design, project management and business removals.

The Trust rejected space in offices used by the corporation at neighbouring Broadcasting House and at the BBC’s Television Centre in White City. Between 40 and 50 members of the watchdog’s 60-strong staff are now housed in the converted Edwardian building.

They moved from offices in Marylebone High Street last October as part of the corporation’s “property portfolio consolidation”.

Budgeting is key when you’re moving office

Creating a realistic office move budget is a critical planning tool that will help you assess your costs and manage them throughout the process.

A rough budget may well have been set at the outset, but this will need to be fully developed to incorporate all moving office cost items at the current/appropriate levels. You will need to get quotes about everything – something Robinsons are happy to provide.

Having a realistic budget that is a live and working document – which is managed with discipline and intelligence – will allow you to remain in control of your move costs.

Choc horror! Cadbury set to move abroad?

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Thousands of UK jobs could move abroad if chocolate maker Cadbury is bought by US giant Kraft, a union has warned.

The union Unite claimed 7,000 jobs could go if control of the British firm shifted to Illinois in the US and a further 20,000 jobs in the supply chain could be at risk if the hostile bid goes through, it said.

A Kraft spokesman said the claims were “utterly unfounded”. He said Kraft’s bid for Cadbury would be better for British jobs than other options.

It’s another in a long line of business removals story as the global recession, once again, threatens to impact on British jobs.
