Professional Services"Lloyds TSB has been a major employer and key player in Bristol for over 20 years and in this time has seen the city's market place go from strength to strength. Despite current market conditions, the outlook for Bristol remains promising, largely driven by its well established professional services community and through strong inward investment" Clive Hetherington, Area Director and Head of Corporate Markets South West, Lloyds TSB. Bristol has the third largest financial services sector outside London. With 59,000 employees in the sector, Bristol is the hub of the professional services sector in the South West and one of the leading centres in the UK.
HBOS (including Clerical Medical) consolidated its presence in Bristol by moving into a new headquarters building at Harbourside in 2007. Hargreaves Lansdown, one of the UK’s leading independent financial service providers and asset management specialists, are also moving into a new thirty million pound city centre headquarters (100,000 sq ft) on Harbourside – this will be completed in October 2009. This major new investment follows similar moves by Bank of Ireland (including Bristol & West), RBS and other companies moving to prime new grade A office space at Temple Quay next to Temple Meads station. The city region can also boast a lower cost base and good staff retention, which can be an issue in other UK centres.
