BBC staff reluctant to move to Salford?
posted Jun 16, 2008 - 11:33 PM | 0 comments
Both How-Do and The Guardian ran stories last week about the reluctance of BBC staff to sign up to a Salford relocation scheme.
Apparently only two members of staff have so far applied for the scheme which offers help in buying homes amongst other services, and could be worth up to £8,000 each.
The BBC’s chief operating officer Caroline Thomson was at Manchester Business School last week, and admitted that "Staff in London fall into two groups - some are still anxious about the move, while others are embracing it."
How-Do reports that assumptions about reluctant movers has prompted BBC executives into looking for replacement staff from North-West talent, but the BBC has said that Journalists haven't yet been asked to decide on moving.
So is it fair to label BBC staff as unenthusiastic, or is it simply too early to tell?

Not a lot of MediaCityUK news to report since the ITV bombshell, except perhaps this article from the FT about the positive impact MediaCityUK is likely to have on Salford and the surrounding areas. The article also provides a quick introduction to the local housing market - useful if you're looking at relocating to Salford. Mar 26, 2009 - 11:04 PM
