Firm’s 35-year-old founder quit his job to set up an eight-screen trading floor at home
As an IT consultant in the mid-1990s, Greg Secker worked alongside foreign exchange traders. Listening carefully, he learnt strategies and within a few years set up an eight-screen trading floor at his London home. Friends asked him for trading advice, which inspired him to set up his firm in 2003. It now offers free seminars across the world, and training programmes in London and Australia. Heavy marketing of these stock-market and currency-trading programmes have led sales to grow 73% a year, from an annualised £1.8m in 2006 to £9.5m in 2009.
