New senior management appointments
Strengthening the management team for future growth
Aquis Exchange PLC (AQX.L), the exchange services company, has
made a series of management changes to better reflect its
post-Brexit structure, as well as its future growth and expansion
plans for both its London and Paris offices.
David Stevens joined Aquis this month in the newly-created role
of Chief Revenue Officer. David, who will be based in London, will
oversee the sales and client servicing activities across all
geographies and across a number of Aquis' revenue streams - Aquis
Exchange, Aquis Stock Exchange and data. Prior to joining Aquis,
David was CEO of foreign exchange broker Global Reach Group.
Previous roles also include senior positions at Investment
Technology Group, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs.
Graham Dick, who currently holds the role of Head of Sales for
the Company as well as CEO of Aquis Exchange Europe, is retiring.
He will, however, remain as a consultant to the Company. Jonathan
Clelland, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating
Officer will be moving to Paris in the summer and will take on the
additional role of Chief Executive Officer of Aquis Exchange
Europe, subject to regulatory approval from the French authorities.
Jonathan is a fluent French speaker and previously worked in
France. Jonathan will continue in his other roles.
In the finance department, Richard Fisher joined Aquis as
Director of Finance earlier in the year and is based in London.
Prior to joining Aquis, Richard was Director of Finance at Redwood
Bank and other previous roles include Chief Accountant at RBS
Group. Richard's appointment follows that of CTO Viet Lee's arrival
in 2020.
Alasdair Haynes, Chief Executive Officer of Aquis,
commented:
"As Aquis continues to grow and we adapt to the post-Brexit
landscape, we have decided to further strengthen both the team
overall and, in particular, to increase our presence in Paris by
basing the Company CFO/COO in France rather than the UK.
I want to thank Graham for his huge contribution to Aquis over
the last 7 years and I am very grateful that he has agreed to stay
on as a consultant to the Company. His knowledge of markets is vast
and, I believe, he has still much to give our community.
Lastly, I want to welcome Richard and David onboard. I have
worked with David in the past and I know he will be a great asset
to the management team as Aquis continues to expand. I believe we
now have the right group of people in place to drive the business
to the next level."

Notes to editors:
Aquis Exchange PLC is an exchange services group, which operates
pan-European cash equities trading businesses (Aquis Exchange),
growth and regulated primary markets (Aquis Stock Exchange/AQSE)
and develops/licenses exchange software to third parties (Aquis
Technologies).
Aquis Exchange is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial
Conduct Authority and France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers to
operate Multilateral Trading Facility businesses in the UK and in
EU27 respectively. Aquis operates a lit order book and does not
allow aggressive non-client proprietary trading, which has resulted
in lower toxicity and signalling risk on Aquis than other trading
venues in Europe. According to independent studies, trades on Aquis
are less likely to lead to price movement than on other lit
markets. Aquis uses a subscription pricing model which works by
charging users according to the message traffic they generate,
rather than a percentage of the value of each stock that they
trade.
Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE) is a stock market providing primary
and secondary markets for equity and debt products. It is
authorised as a Recognised Investment Exchange, which allows it to
operate a regulated listings venue. The AQSE Growth Market is
divided into two segments 'Access' and 'Apex', with different
levels of admission criteria. The Access market focuses on earlier
stage growth companies, while Apex is the intended market for
larger, more established businesses.
Aquis Technologies is the software and technology division of
Aquis Exchange PLC. It creates and licenses cutting-edge,
cost-effective matching engine and trade surveillance technology
for banks, brokers, investment firms and exchanges.
Aquis Exchange PLC (AQX.L) is listed on the Alternative
Investment Market of the LSE (AIM) market. For more information,
