The total of accredited London employers has more than doubled in the past year. Key sign-ups in the private sector include well-known brands such as Nationwide, Foster & Partners, ITV and HSBC. Recent sign-ups in the public sector include London & Partners Ltd, MOPAC, the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
