Teikoku Sieyaku, the world’s number one producer of medical poultices opened their European HQ out of Citibase Finchley. “Even for an established business, setting up in a new market is unpredictable. Citibase gave us all the security and flexibility we needed and was the ideal way of getting a foothold.”

Brazilians Moema and Joao set up their shoe business at Citibase because it seemed a sensible way of getting going.  From its Citibase Finchley HQ, Anatomic & Co now exports shoes manufactured in Brazil – using natural raw materials and pure rubber - all over Europe. It is now the no 5 men’s shoe brand in the UK (Draper’s Magazine).
