Mr Andrade said: “I am delighted to have been appointed COO. I have thoroughly enjoyed my many years at the Exchange and I am really looking forward to continuing to do so with this fresh challenge. I am very excited to be heading the team which is focused on building strong relationships with key stakeholders to develop our proposition as we seek to further diversify our markets and products over the coming years.”

It is an exciting time for the business and I am looking forward to continuing to play my role in the execution of our strategy and in doing so, deliver long term value to all our stakeholders.”
