Steven Fine, Chief Executive of Peel Hunt, said:“As our business has grown, so too have our clients and the size and number of high profile transactions on which we advise, underwrite and execute on a daily basis. With a strong eye to the future, we are delighted to be entering into this collaboration agreement with a bank of Santander’s global reach, reputation, and commitment to UK companies, which will enhance our ability to underwrite substantial ECM transactions.
“This landmark collaboration combines our in depth market knowledge and expertise with a powerful underwriting capability that will enable us to enhance our full service offer to our clients and further support our growth ambitions and those of the companies for whom we act.”
José M.
