The world’s largest yoghurt maker Danone has launched a search for a 40,000 sq ft west London headquarters.
Advised by GVA, the French food giant, which counts style guru Gok Wan as a brand ambassador, is looking for offices in areas including Chiswick and Hammersmith.
It wants to secure a building by 2016, ahead of a lease break for the circa 30,000 sq ft it occupies at International House in Ealing, W5. The expansion plans come after Danone posted a 2.1% rise in turnover in 2013 to €21.3bn (£17.6bn).
