Professor John Colley, Warwick Business School Professor of Practice in the Strategy & International Group, Comments On The LSEG Saying Its Merger With Deutsche Boerse Could Lead To 1,250 Job Losses

Commenting on the LSE saying its merger with Deutsche Boerse could lead to 1,250 job losses Professor John Colley, Warwick Business School Professor of Practice in the Strategy & International Group, said: "The announcement does not indicate where the job losses will fall, suggesting they will be spread between the businesses. There is concern that the bulk may fall in London as redundancies will be cheaper there than in Germany. Secondly there is some scepticism as to whether this is truly a 'merger of equals' or a German takeover. No doubt this will become clearer with time.
