The appointment of Nigel Warner, managing director, UK, and Brad Gorton, UK sales director, will enable Trading Solutions to take advantage of new business opportunities in the region as London becomes a central hub for the company.

In his role as UK managing director, Nigel will be responsible for driving the company forward with a strong emphasis on new business generation and customer support. Nigel joins from IPC where he spent five years, and was most recently a global account director managing strategic relationships with a number of tier one institutions. His successful background in maintaining client engagements and delivering new revenue streams is built on a long and distinguished career in this sector. Previous roles include EMEA global account manager for Cisco as well as working for BT plc, Colt and Cable and Wireless.

Nigel said, "Despite the challenging market environment there is still business to be done. Firms are constantly challenged by changing industry regulations and their demands continue to increase. There is a place for trusted advisers like us who take a proactive approach in staying at the forefront of innovation, tackling market changes and helping firms realise their potential. Brad and I are joining a strong team within a leading global organisation and we are confident that our deep domain expertise in both electronic and voice trading requirements will help us to meet our clients' needs and seize today's market opportunities."

Brad will direct a team of five sales consultants who look after a wide portfolio of products including dealer boards, networks, data, voice recording, mobile voice recording and private branch exchange (PBX) infrastructure. His industry knowledge is garnered from a long career at Speakerbus where he held roles as head of sales - EMEA, UK sales manager and sales consultant.
