For those international companies that are seeking to ‘Go Regional’ in order to profit from the benefits of restructuring their operations, it only makes sense to be in Brussels. There is no better location in all of Western Europe.
» Regional Headquarters
When choosing where to locate their European headquarters, many US and Japanese multinationals make the obvious choice: Brussels. The reasons are self-evident: being close to the centre of power in the EU is of paramount importance. (see: Economic decision centre).
But Brussels is also the obvious choice as a regional base of operations. It is centrally located in the only country in Europe where French, Dutch and German are the official languages (English is also widely spoken in Brussels). For those companies that need a regional presence to cover the markets in the Benelux Countries, as well as France and Germany, there are a host of reasons to choose Brussels.
The benefits of Brussels :
» Shared Service Centres (SSC)
Sharing or outsourcing basic business operational functions, such as accounting, finance, customer services and human resources, allows international organisations to consolidate and rationalise their resources.
The decision as to where to locate a company’s SSC should that be based upon economic criteria and the availability of a bests suits a ready pool of skilled staff. Not surprisingly, Brussels is one of the most popular locations in Europe.
Why choose Brussels as the location for your organisation’s SSC ?
» Contact centres
A call centre is a company’s ‘front desk’. The most successful companies locate their call centres close to their market, where operators have a tangible cultural understanding of their customers. This is particularly true if sophisticated services need to be delivered by highly skilled operators.
