London move confirmed for Nokia team

Nokia designer Bill Sermon and the group’s design team based in Southwood, Farnborough, are to relocate to Nokia’s forthcoming central London design centre.

The Farnborough studio is to be closed, but all its staff will be relocated next year, with some additional designers recruited, says a spokeswoman. Nokia’s Finland design team is also being rehoused from Helsinki to Nokia headquarters in Espoo (DW 14 September).
