Our new premises will have a good visibility from Iuliu Maniu Boulevard and an excellent access to public transportation system, as the existing infrastructure is highly developed, including buses, trams and underground lines, ensuring an easier access from everywhere in Bucharest and surroundings,”says Horațiu Vasilescu, new ManpowerGroup Romania Managing Director.
