Barclays is set to ramp up staff numbers in New York next month, asking a fresh contingent of employees to be "primarily office-based", as the UK lender prepares to U-turn on its plans to bring more people to its Canary Wharf headquarters.

In a memo to staff on 24 September, seen by Financial News, Barclays said that it was aiming to increase the proportion of employees in its US offices within its trading and investment banking units.
