Britannia Global Markets, (“Britannia”) a complete multi-asset brokerage offering execution and cleared brokerage services, is pleased to announce the expansion of its energy offering, with the approval of its membership of ICE Futures Europe (“ICE”), the leading energy trading platform, and two new hires, Marc Rowell and Marc Corban.
As a Participant in ICE, Britannia will have the ability to block trades and utilise WEB ICE, providing real-time access to trading activity and data including ICE Futures Europe, ICE Futures US (NYBOT) and OTC Cleared Oil, Gas and Power markets.
To lead Britannia’s new offering, the Group has appointed Marc Rowell to run the Energy desk. Rowell joins from Société General where he headed up the energy listed derivatives sales team. He has 20 years’ experience in the energy sector and was responsible for starting, growing and running the largest FCM in the market. In addition, the Group has appointed Marc Corban, who will be focused on developing upstream listed swaps. Corban has worked for both Concord Energy and SOCAR Trading and has a decade of experience in the Energy sector.
The energy department will be covering oil derivatives and listed swaps across the complex, building out new teams in specific areas of the market including upstream and downstream products, Power and renewables, a rapidly growing sector.
Membership of ICE is the latest step in developing Britannia’s full-service offering, following the recent approval of its Category 2 membership of The London Metal Exchange, and further complementing its memberships of other world-renowned exchanges including the London Stock Exchange, (LSE) and the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX).
