Recent Experience  

President, BCI, a subsidiary of Buck Consultants International

René Buck holds a degree in economic geography as well as spatial planning from Nijmegen University, The Netherlands.  After a short academic career he started his own consultancy firm in 1985.  His contacts with many international firms at that time convinced him that there was a strong need in the market for an independent practice to assist corporate executives in a systematic and practical way with their international location decision projects.  He was right.  BCI now employs 70 professionals as Europe's leading independent location advisory consultancy.

They serve corporate clients from the USA, the Far East, and Europe.  Projects are mainly carried out in Europe, including Central and Eastern Europe, and sometimes beyond Europe.  Services include all aspects of the location decision process, including fact-finding trips and incentives negotiations.

Apart from the head office in the Netherlands and an office in The Hague, BCI maintains offices in all major European business locations : Brussels, Frankfurt am Main, London, Madrid, Milan, and Paris.

René has also led his company during the last 17 years into areas related to location advice, such as:

  •  definition of overall corporate real estate strategies
  •  optimization of current network of facilities all over Europe
  •  optimization of the supply chain structure
