Joe Everitt has been named head of low-touch trading and algorithmic sales trading at Winterflood Securities, following 14 and a half years at Stifel.
He most recently served as managing director, electronic trading focused on Stifel large-cap Retail Service Provider (RSP) and Institutional Algorithmic Platform in Europe (SELECT).
London-based Everitt has also previously held senior roles at Seymour Pierce, FXCM, Desdner Kleinwort Wassertstein, and Raymond James.
In his new position, Everitt will report to Andrew Stancliffe, head of execution services, who commented: “At Winterflood, we are continuously looking to innovate and enhance our best-in-class execution offering. To maintain our edge, we know that we need the very best talent in the market – and there are few with a pedigree as distinguished as Joe.”
In July 2025, Marex confirmed plans to acquire the UK equity market maker from Close Brothers in a £103.9 million cash deal, with the completion predicted for early 2026.
The acquisition is expected to support the growth of Marex’s UK cash equities business, as well as expanding its services to UK institutional clients through offering a broader range of products, in particular among the asset and wealth management sectors.
Matt Wilkinson, head of trading at Winterflood, explained that the move comes as Winterflood continues to bolster its offering.
“[…] stepping up our ambitious growth plans over the coming weeks and months, as we look to strengthen all aspects of our execution platform. Joe is set to play a vital role in that process, and we are excited to welcome him to the company.”
