UK employers want to build their brands in the European market, according to the REC(Reuters)

Political pressure for the UK to leave the European Union (EU) has not scuppered some businesses' aspirations to expand into the economic and political union, according to the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC).

The HR body, which surveyed 600 companies, said that one in six UK employers (16%) plan to expand their operations into Europe in the next two years.

The organisation's latest JobsOutlooksurvey also found that almost a third (31%) of respondents could be working internationally by this time in 2016.

"UK employers have been growing and expanding their workforces throughout 2014," said Kevin Green, the chief executive of the REC.

"Business confidence has returned to such an extent that many are now looking beyond the UK for opportunities overseas.

"We're looking ahead to a potential doubling of the number of UK companies doing business beyond our shores in the next two years.

"It's interesting that the bulk of those employers want to build their brands in the European market, re-iterating how important the EU is as our key trading partner.

"It also highlights the ambition and growing confidence of UK businesses as our economy and labour markets both continue to perform well at home."

The research also revealed that the vast majority of UK employers (87%) plan to create more permanent jobs in the next three months.

The figure compared with 115,000 awards made by Germany during the year and 96,000 by France, the EU data agency Eurostat said.

In Britain the largest group of new citizens was from India, making up 14.6 per cent of those being granted citizenship, followed by Pakistan (9.5 per cent), Nigeria (4.6 per cent) and the Philippines (4.2 per cent).

Dr Carlos Vargas-Silva, acting director of the Migration Observatory at Oxford University, said: A lot of these people getting citizenship in Britain are migrants from the Commonwealth, such as migrants from India and Pakistan.

Three-quarters of Indians getting citizenship in the EU are doing so in Britain.

That historic relationship, of once having a lot of colonies, means you get a lot of migrants from non-EU countries.

Britain made fourth largest number of citizenship awards when calculated as the number per every 1,000 inhabitants.

The figure of three new citizens for every 1,000 Britons compared with 8.7 per 1,000 in Luxembourg the highest figure in the EU and 5.5 and 3.5 per 1,000 in Ireland and Belgium respectively.

The British total was up 17,000 on the previous year but down a few hundred on the 2010 total, according to Eurostat figures.
