Unilever picks London as its home over Rotterdam

Anglo-Dutch conglomerate denies U-turn after finally choosing the UK capital over Dutch city as its HQ

Unilever has picked London as its home in an about-face on the company's 2018 decision to go Dutch" which was abandoned after a revolt by British shareholders.

Despite a fresh internal review that this time selected London rather than Rotterdam as the location of its headquarters, the Unilever chairman, Nils Andersen, insisted it was not a flip-flop but a pragmatic way to complete an overdue overhaul of its unwieldy corporate structure.
