LMAX Group is listed in the Deloitte Fast 50 and The Sunday Times Tech Track 100, and it recorded record half-year results in June 2020. David talks about his career in the City, culminating in a 2012 management buyout of the group and the company’s growth and success since then.

He discusses how the City can retain its spot as a leading global financial services hub in the years ahead and issues a passionate plea for City employers to open their doors to young talent from diverse backgrounds.
