London seeing 'huge increase' in French businesses Ahead of Prime Minister David Cameron's meeting with French President Francois Hollande, BBC Radio 4's Today programme has heard how business conditions in the two countries differ. Nadege Alezine, editor-in-chief at the website Be A Londoner, says in the last two years she has noticed "a huge increase" in French businesses moving to London. Aurore Hochard, co-founder of Taskhub, said in England she feels "rewarded" for running a successful business, rather than being "penalised" by high tax rates in France.
