Canary Wharf’s Best Kept Secret

Canary Wharf is Londonís premier business district, and with its 97 acres of business and residential sites, Canary Wharf has firmly established itself as the ëNew Cityî

With a large number of prestigious banking and financial institutions already making their presence known in the area, Canary Wharf continues to attract the attention of leading institutions and a growing number of hedge funds, even being labelled by some as the ëWall Street of Londoní.

As Canary Wharf continues to expand, many of the worldís largest companies are making the shift away from The City, moving their headquarters to the thriving environment which Canary Wharf provides. The construction of an additional two, 12 storey buildings, and the expansion within the lifestyle industry in the estate, has supported the gradual shift, accommodating all additional workers within the district which already boasts over 80,000 employees.

Financial Recruiter, Ben Burston, Principle Consultant at NJF Search International, comments;
ìThe shift east from The City to Canary Wharf has hardly happened overnight but in the last two years the number of roles weíve recruited for in Canary Wharf has mushroomed. Roughly a tenth of our clients have taken headquarters there creating thousands of jobs in finance and in turn changing the way we view ëthe new Cityí. People talk effusively about the fantastic facilities, the dynamic atmosphere and, perhaps most surprisingly, about the new found glamour of the area. We donít mind a bit!î

First to capitalise on the significant employment opportunities available within the region was niche jobs board CanaryWharfJobs.com. A business specifically designed to cater for the recruitment of staff within Canary Wharf and surrounding areas, the online business, www.canarywharfjobs.com, provides jobseekers with an opportunity to search and apply for local vacancies online, creating a system which is simple and time efficient for all using the site.

Rebecca Cole, Senior Account Manager, CanaryWharfJobs.com,
commented; ìCanaryWharfjobs.com grew from a distinctive gap in the market, in which employers were finding it difficult to reach such a geographically niche market. Our team has worked tirelessly to continue to attract jobseekers to the site, allowing them to search and apply for jobs online, as well as providing comprehensive career related toolsî.
