In 1978 it was the subject of a management buyout from Gerrard & National who previously owned it. It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1981. The Company was acquired by British & Commonwealth Holdings in 1986. When British & Commonwealth Holdings collapsed the business was sold off as Exco plc. In 1998 it acquired Intercapital plc in a reverse takeover. It has now been integrated into the ICAP Group.
