TELECOM group TalkTalk has confirmed it is to shift its headquarters from London to Salford.
It will relocate "several hundred" roles from London as part of the move, while also creating new posts next year.
In half-year results also announced on Wednesday, TalkTalk reported pre-tax losses narrowing to £4 million in the six months to September 30 from £95 million a year earlier.
Interim underlying earnings rose to £101 million from £75 million a year ago.
On the HQ relocation, TalkTalk chief executive Tristia Harrison said: "We're excited to be moving our headquarters to Salford.
"We've always had a base in the North West, but we want to build on that heritage and create a world-class campus for the whole business.
"As with any change, we are committed to supporting all of our colleagues during this transition period.
"Bringing all of our teams together will make us a simpler business, where it's easier for teams to work together and deliver the very best service for customers."
