Unilever has decided to consolidate its dual headquarters in Rotterdam over London, in an emotionally charged decision that came despite last-minute lobbying from the British government.
The company’s announcement came alongside details of a broader restructuring of its operations into three divisions with separate headquarters. Beauty and personal care, as well as a home care unit, will be based in London, while its foods and refreshment division will continue to be based in Rotterdam.
The maker of Dove soap and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream said the 7,300 people it employs in the U.K. and the 3,100 people in the Netherlands won’t be affected by the changes.
