| And you were sure staff would be happy to make the commitment of moving permanently to such a nice part of the country? Well, yes, but this is different from tourism. We rely on the expertise of specialist IT people and where we were before, there are hundreds of businesses in the same position. We think there'll be less demand for their services here. Didn't you have to offer them more money to relocate? We decided on a generous relocation package, and that seemed to be enough. Are staff who relocated to your new base happy they made the move? So far, yes. We thought they'd be most impressed by the beautiful countryside, but all they've said is how pleased they are they can now afford to move up the ladder in terms of finding a place to live, accomodation costss near London have shot up in recent years. And they're finding Plymouth has the same amenities they were used to before, so no complaints there. Did the Centre receive any local government support to relocate? Yes, and that was enormously useful. We didn't have to buy land from the local council, and our offices were purpose-built according to our specifications. |
