CREATIVE FX - Key Persons
Charles McLeod was a successful commodities trader in the mid to late 1980's. The experience of running a highly successful team in the stressful area of Commodities trading, together with some excellent contacts in the City gave him the confidence to start Currencies4less in March 2000. The small team he assembled around him managed to grow the business beyond their wildest expectations. The upshot was the company was floated in 2004 on the AIM market, as well as Charles being runner up to the Entrepreneur of the year in 2005. Charles and his close team grew the business collectively until he stood down in 2007 to concentrate on other outside interests. When the sale of the business, then named Baydonhill plc was completed, and following a specified period, Charles was keen to re-enter the market. "Those early days of Currencies4less were amongst the happiest and most satisfying of my life. If at Creative FX we can replicate just a small proportion of that feeling, and client happiness/contentment, it will have been successful."
