UK Office Opening

Following our plans to grow our workforce and expand globally in 2024, Flowdesk has opened its fifth global office in the U.K. after France, Singapore, the U.S., and Canada.

The London office is a key strategic hub for the team. Our immediate focus is expanding the accessibility and coverage of Flowdesk’s core Liquidity Provision and OTC products while tapping into London’s strong financial talent pool.

Flowdesk's expansion arrives at a pivotal moment in the evolution of digital assets. The timing is ideal with the U.K.'s crypto regulatory outlook gaining clarity and a rising demand for sustainable markets and asset tokenization. As a company designed to prioritize compliance from the outset, this is a timely opportunity to continue building a robust presence throughout Europe.

Flowdesk’s London expansion comes after a $50m Series B raise. By establishing a local presence in another key financial hub and engaging with regulators, we aim to shape the future of the crypto industry while maintaining compliance and fostering trust. 

Key hires such as Charles Tighe, Chief Financial Officer, and Roxy Kennedy, Chief Human Resources Officer, will help expand London’s office and roll out our global development plan. Tapping into London’s financial talent, the team plans to increase trading and engineering headcount to expand OTC and liquidity provision capabilities.

With this, Flowdesk continues to fortify its presence throughout Europe as a leading liquidity provider and OTC trading firm. Flowdesk CEO Guilhem CHAUMONT is confident that: 

“This strategic decision positions Flowdesk to scale effectively and augment our trading infrastructure. The London office expansion will enable us to better serve global clients, expand our product offering, and accelerate growth as a liquidity provider and OTC counterparty.”

Flowdesk US CEO Reed WERBITT, who oversees Flowdesk’s growing OTC operations, commented:

"The opening of our London office marks an important step in Flowdesk's institutional global expansion effort.  We are excited to plant a flag in the heart of Europe’s financial hub as we expand our footprint across our ever-growing product suite."
