Speaking to the appointments, Chris McConville, global head of execution services and trading, said: “”Whilst it feels like part of the market has hit pause on investment, we’re doing the opposite. At KCx, we believe our people are our greatest asset, and that belief drives every decision we make.
“Bringing Sam Dawson, Edward Bowler, and Brian Foley on board not only strengthens our capabilities, but also reinforces our commitment to the UK and US, two markets that are absolutely central to our growth strategy.”
