“The year 2013 is marked by an intensification of relocation intentions. Although some of these will probably materialize in transactions in the first part of 2014, it is worth noting the higher degree of trust of managers in the prospects of their own companies and the resumption in many cases of business growth plans. Unlike the previous year, the reasons for the relocation are more and more often the need to expand the headquarters area and increase the comfort of the employees “, says Alexandru Petrescu, Managing Partner of ESOP Consulting | CORFAC International.
