Rule Financial moved from its previous home at New Broad Street at the end of March and we are now in our newly refurbished office at 101 Moorgate.

The move team, led by Finance Director Patrick Gracey, featured Michael Wood (Project Manager) and Rob Collins (IT) who were aided by other Rule staff along with the fit-out contractors Logic and the removals firm Universal. Briefed to achieve the relocations with the minimum of disruption, it proved a long but ultimately successful weekend, with an extraordinary quantity of furniture and general office equipment moving in a relatively orderly manner across a quarter of a mile of the City of London.

The move comes as a result of a combination of spectacular growth over last year and the end of our current leasing arrangements. The new office, which is also on the 4th floor of the building, features an atrium and will accomodate the growing numbers of permanent and contracted staff who make up Rule’s increasingly strong City presence.

Our new address: 101 Moorgate, London. EC2M 6SL

The logistics of the move, designed to effect a seamless shift in location over a single weekend, with the minimum disruption to Rule Financial’s operations on any of our clients’ business, have been in planning since January.

Matthew Harrison, founder of the Martini trading platform for bond and equity securities financing, has joined the securities finance practice at Rule Financial.

Harrison returns to the Securities Finance arena after a 3-year sabbatical following the sale of Martini to Sungard.

Announcing the appointment, Rule Financial’s Head of Securities Finance, David Little, commented:-
      “Matthew brings with him a breadth of experience and solid expertise in all aspects of securities financing. There’s no doubt he’ll be a great asset to us.”

         Harrison, the one-time Head of Global repo IT at Deutsche Bank, added  “Rule’s consultants are at the forefront of both the technical and business innovations in securities finance. It will be a pleasure to join this dynamic team, and I look forward to helping clients maximise their securities finance returns”.
