Guardian: The Financial Times will begin looking for a replacement for its Thames-side London offices in the new year and look to hire more staff following its acquisition by Japanese media group Nikkei. The offices were not included in the sale of the FT by Pearson, which is to lease the building back at commercial terms to Nikkei. FT Group chief executive John Ridding said the FT would have had to look at new offices even if it still owned the No 1 Southwark Bridge building, but the change of ownership would provide an “opportunity” to find more appropriate accommodation.
