London-based Move Guides raises $8.2 million in funding

Move Guides, a London startup that helps companies relocate their staff around the world, has raised $8.2m (£5.1m) in Series A funding to help fund its expansion into Asia. The three-year-old company has offices in London, San Francisco and New York and is just about to open one in Hong Kong. It will have 30 staff by the end of this year and the funding means it could treble its team to between 75 and 90 people by the end of 2015, CEO and founder Brynne Herbert told MT.
