Ownership
The founding family has carried the business for two generations. Public shareholders join at listing.
The people behind the platforms.
A company built across two generations of the trade, now run as a technology business. The way it is held together reflects what we believe a company should be: owned by a family that has carried it since 1981, run by a professional team brought in on merit, and answerable to a board that keeps it honest.
How the company is configured
