WH Ireland is pleased to announce that Fraser Marshall has

As reported in the Group's recent interim results for the six
months to 30 September 2020, these business streams delivered a
combined increase in revenue of over 60% to over GBP6m in the
period. 12 new quoted corporate clients were secured, including
being appointed Broker to our first corporate client with a market
capitalisation of over GBP1bn. A number of successful capital
raises were also executed during the period, including raising
GBP25m as sole broker and Nominated Adviser for one of the few
London IPOs of 2020 to date. The appointment of Fraser will help
drive the Board's ambition to double revenues in the division over
the next three years.
Fraser Marshall has had a 26 year career in the UK equity
markets, having graduated from Durham University and having spent
four years in the British Army. He first entered the City with
Kleinwort Benson in 1994 in a UK small-cap equity sales role before
joining Evolution Securities in 2002, at its inception, managing
the Equity Sales desk. In 2008, Fraser joined Collins Stewart to
run the small-cap franchise and then joined The Royal Bank of
Canada in 2009 as part of the roll out of its European Equities
platform. Subsequently, Fraser joined Arden Partners in 2017, as
Head of Equities and a member of its Senior Management team.
Phillip Wale, CEO of WH Ireland, said: "We are delighted to be
able to attract someone of Fraser's calibre to join our
newly-formed Capital Markets Division. He brings considerable
experience in mid and small cap broking, as well as strong
corporate and institutional relationships. I very much look forward
to working with Fraser to build on the strong momentum being
seen."
Fraser Marshall, Head of Capital Markets, said: "I am excited to
be joining WH Ireland at a time when the business is clearly
demonstrating strong progress. I believe that there is a
significant opportunity to build on the established platform
created by the team, based on its high quality proposition and
service levels. In particular, I look forward to being able to
further strengthen WH Ireland's proven distribution capability to
deliver clearly differentiated access to capital for our corporate
clients."
