Wales is one of the UK’s fastest growing locations for financial services, with new research stating the preferred location for contact and shared service centres in the UK - and only two hours drive from London.
There are big opportunities for growth in areas such as insurance, asset management, funds management and pensions as the UK banking industry is restructured. It’s a very cost-competitive base that’s equipped with super-fast broadband infrastructure.
