YouGov threatens to quit London for New York as City exodus grows

Listing across the Atlantic would deal a fresh blow to the UK’s struggling stock market

British pollster YouGov has threatened to shift its listing to New York amid an exodus of companies from the London Stock Exchange.

The market research firm, which was founded by Stephan Shakespeare and former chancellor Nadhim Zahawi, said it was considering the move after expanding its business through a recent takeover.

Mr Shakespeare told the Financial Times: “I think the markets are better at supporting companies like ours there.”

He said YouGov could either transfer its primary listing to New York or establish a secondary listing.
