London presence 'can help firms boost their clientele'

Date: 05/12/2011

London telephone numbers may help companies looking to establish themselves in the city to boost their clientele.

Guide and listings editor for AllInLondon.co.uk Susanna Oldfield commented how having a presence in Knightsbridge or Mayfair can help attract high-end customers.

She noted how the areas are "synonymous" with the luxury end of the business market and being based in the boroughs "is a must in order to be taken seriously amongst the top-end clientele".

Ms Oldfield suggested firms dealing in consumer goods would find the location particularly beneficial in helping to increase revenue.

The expert noted companies such as boutique patisseries, top-class hotels and restaurants, as well as high-end property companies are currently based in the Knightsbridge area.

However, Ms Oldfield claimed there is "little scope for large-scale developments" due to the price of real estate in that part of London.

Iain Smith, spokesman for London Chamber of Commerce, recently commented that the capital is the best place to locate an office as it is a "truly global city".
