Lego putting down firmer London foundations

Danish-owned toy building brick maker Lego is to expand its London office, sending a “clear signal” that the capital is central to its growth plans.

The group said it will grow its office capacity by more than 50% by taking two floors at One Plough Place, adjacent to its New Fetter Lane office.

Lego did not mention Brexit, but finance chief John Goodwin called London a “great location”.

He said: “The continued investment in London sends a clear signal that we consider it to be a great location for us, with access to a broad pool of talented employees.”

Lego likes London.
