A strong corporate governance culture flows through all members of our group.
Our parent company, GIS UK, is owned by Octagonal PLC and is also a member of the London Stock Exchange.

We are a London Stock Exchange member firm, a licenced payment services provider, as well as an HMRC-approved provider of ISAs. We are also a U.S. IRS-recognised qualified intermediary.
This level of corporate governance is only achievable because of the Octagonal Group’s robust regulatory foundation and a strong compliance culture which is championed by every member of staff.
