business has grown to encompass several core markets operating globally and we are now preferred suppliers to a

number of Trading Companies, Banks, Hedge Funds, and recently, other commercial companies and government

Our steady growth since inception is the result of the ability to add genuine value to candidates and clients within

certain niche markets which we have a clear understanding of.
