BNP Paribas has relocated François Artignan, head of its European media and telecoms finance group, and David Arlettaz, a senior banker in the same group, to London from Paris.

The relocations mark the latest attempt by the French bank to balance its activities between its Paris headquarters and the London office. Both Artignan and Arlettaz will retain their current roles within the media and telecoms finance group, and will continue to report to Philippe Vuarchex, global head of the group, who will remain in Paris.
