UK says Unilever headquarters' decision not connected to Brexit

GENEVA, March 15 (Reuters) - The British government said Unilever (NYSE: UL - news) 's decision to scrap its London corporate headquarters and make Rotterdam its sole legal home is not linked to Britain's exit from the European Union.

"Its decision to transfer a small number of jobs to a corporate HQ in the Netherlands is part of a long-term restructuring of the company and is not connected to the UK’s departure from the EU," said a spokesman at the business ministry. (Reporting by Costas Pitas; editing by Guy Faulconbridge)
