The new building which houses the Lon
don branch was handed over in March and
was fitted out to our requirements this
summer. The move took place during the
Bank Holiday at the end of August.
The new building consists of eight floors
and a basement for storage and plant.
There are even two parking spaces, which
are at a premium in the City. The total floor
area at 108 Cannon Street is approximate-
ly 36,000 square feet as compared to
10,000 in the former building in Mark Lane.
Even though three floors have initially been
subiet, it provides much needed space for
present and future staff, which has grown in
numbers from 10 in September 1985, when
the branch opened, to 60 at present. The
London branch has managed to obtain an
easy-to-remember telephone number, 071
280 3000, and was allowed to choose the
iast two letters of the new postal code,
which is EC4N 6RN!
A Loan Production Office has been
opened in Brussels this month. The office
is an outpost of Rabobank Belgium in
Antwerp.
In the small country of Belgium there are
great cultural differences between the
Dutch-speaking Flanders in the north and
the French-speaking Walloon provinces in
the south. Brussels is officially a bilingual
city. These facts make it desirable to adopt
a separate approach to Brussels and the
Walloon region. With a view to further mar-
ket penetration in French-speaking Belgium,
a physical presence is essential. In addi-
tion, Brussels is the financial centre of Bel
gium and with the unification of Europe in
1992 in mind it firmly intends to be the
capital of Europe. Office space has been
leased in Brussels. The office will be staffed
by five persons.
