Our Culture

We have always set out to surround ourselves with people who are not only talented but who are likeable and like-minded.

We hope that it is reflected in the calibre of proven, experienced traders we have attracted to each part of the business, the longevity of so many careers here, and the high numbers who have come through our graduate training programme and have never considered working anywhere else.

We hope that this is in turn an indication of the culture that has been created here. One that is empowering, apolitical, and meritocratic. So in planning how we use our workspace, we have made sure there is absolutely no place for office politics.

We have everyone and everything the best City business needs, only we are more focused on what really matters.
