Panmure Gordon is pleased to announce increased profits after tax for the period ended 31 December 2017, following the change in control and take private of Panmure Gordon & Co plc in July 2017.
Highlights
From July 2017, the new management team, led by Ian Axe, has set about reviewing the business to ensure it has the necessary capabilities and resources to begin a multi-year transformation plan, which will create a 21st century merchant banking operation.
Complementing its traditional corporate broking and investment trust expertise, Panmure Gordon’s offering is being expanded to serve the needs of growth and mid-market corporates, whether listed or unlisted, for whom access to banking has become restricted as bulge bracket banks retreat.
Commenting on Panmure Gordon’s results, Chief Executive Officer, Ian Axe, said:
“Panmure Gordon’s performance during 2017 was stable. However, more importantly, we have started to transform both our infrastructure and seed the growth of new businesses and diversification for the coming years. We are also delighted to have welcomed a number of high-calibre individuals to the business. Looking to the future, management and shareholders are aligned on Panmure Gordon’s growth strategy and, whilst progress has been made, there is much work to be done.”
