Opalesque Industry Update – The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rt Hon George Osborne MP, officially opened the new international headquarters of Man Group plc (‘Man’) today at 2 Swan Lane, London.

We have made significant investments in cutting edge trading and communications technology, and we look forward to serving clients from this base for many more years to come."
