I hear that several firms have closed their consulting services in Manchester, offering staff a move to another city or the door
Detica moved to Leeds; PwC back to London; Deloitte back to London
Any truth to this? I take it these firms think there won't be the business locally, so the cost of shipping London-based staff in would be worth it as they will only go for larger jobs (should they appear in the current market).
