Gordon Brown, in pre-election mode, uses Thomson Reuters platform
Wednesday 10 March 2010
British prime minister Gordon Brown chose to use a Thomson Reuters platform to announce some major pre-election political news, including a public sector pay freeze on senior civil servants and the military.
Brown was speaking on Wednesday at Thomson Reuters' London office at Canary Wharf as an invited guest in an occasional series of talks by "newsmakers". His speech received wide media coverage, and Thomson Reuters got some credit as a newsmaking location – non-partisan, of course.
The Guardian newspaper noted that Brown was "speaking at Thomson Reuters in Canary Wharf, the same venue where the Tory leader, David Cameron, attacked Labour's record on the economy last week."

Thomson Reuters seeks more office space in London’s Docklands
Monday 14 December 2009
Four years after Reuters moved to London’s Docklands, Thomson Reuters is searching for more office space at Canary Wharf.
The company is consolidating from its City of London buildings occupied by the former Thomson group into space closer to the 283,000 square feet building at 30 South Colonnade to which Reuters transferred in 2005 after selling its landmark headquarters at 85 Fleet Street.
The website Need Office Space said likely properties for the relocation include 5 Churchill Place, which was sold last week for £208 million, and 328,000 square feet at 30 North Colonnade.
The Thomson arm of the group occupies almost 200,000 square feet in the City, including 56,000 square feet at Aldgate House, 50,000 square feet at 1 Mark Square, 46,000 square feet at 71-80 Hatton Garden and 42,000 square feet at 58-64 City Road.
