Jeremy Elliott Joins Marex Spectron as COO, Energy

Jeremy, formerly Commodities Business Manager at ICAP, will report to Gordon Bennett, Managing Director and Global Head of Energy at Marex Spectron, and will be based at the firm’s London headquarters.

Bennett said: “Marex Spectron occupies a critical position in European energy and is growing rapidly in North America and Asia even as changing regulation, new products and a growing client base re-shape our business. It is a testament to our success and growth that we have been able to attract someone of Jeremy’s calibre from a major firm.

“We have built a successful and increasingly popular global hybrid voice and screen-based broking platform for energy and Jeremy will be central to our plans to evolve the service to embrace new markets and new ways of working with our expanding client base. I’m delighted that he has chosen to join us at this critical time.”

Jeremy has more than 15 years’ experience in the financial and energy markets and has particular experience of developing electronic trading and broking platforms in his previous role at ICAP and, prior to that, for LiquidityHub Ltd and HPC.

Notes to Editors:

Marex Spectron

Marex Spectron is one of the world’s largest privately held brokers of financial instruments in the commodities sector and a leader in facilitating trade in physical energy products.

We are the conduit for clients transacting in raw materials and related derivatives. We do so efficiently, discretely and with confidence, on or off-exchange.

We provide liquidity in commodity markets that are frequently difficult for clients to access or that require specialist knowledge to navigate successfully.

We connect our clients to any of the world’s major commodity exchanges via state of the art networks. We provide a full suite of services to trading companies who need to outsource infrastructure and support operations.

We also broker financial futures and options, foreign exchange, fixed income and equity securities.

Our aim is to provide our clients with a global, integrated service that enables them to trade how they want to trade: by voice, on electronic platforms or through trading floors where possible.

Our clients are predominantly commodity producers and consumers, banks, hedge funds, asset managers, brokers, commodity trading advisors and professional traders.

We are members of the London Metal Exchange (where we are a Ring Dealer), the CME Group exchanges, ICE US, NYSE Liffe, ICE Futures and Eurex.

We are over 600 market professionals, headquartered in London with offices across Europe, North America and Asia.
