Lombard Risk Management plc("Lombard Risk" or the "Company")
Relocation of London HQ and US branches as risk and regulatory business continues to grow
Lombard Risk Management plc (LSE: LRM), a leading provider of integrated collateral management, regulatory compliance and reporting solutions for the financial services industry, announces that it is relocating its London HQ and US branches.
Last year the Company celebrated a milestone anniversary: 25 years of providing risk management and regulatory solutions. Since inception in 1989, the Company has focused on its commitment to helping firms in the global financial services market better manage their risk, while meeting the stringent regulatory landscape that has followed the financial crisis.
As of Monday, 23 February 2015, the Lombard Risk headquarters' new address is 7th Floor, 60 Gracechurch Street, London, EC3V 0HR. Telephone and other contact details remain the same.
Scheduled for late March 2015, Lombard Risk will be merging its US-based sales and support service centre teams into a single Manhattan office. The New Jersey and mid-town offices will combine at 205 Lexington Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10016. Lombard Risk opened its first Manhattan-based office in 1994 and has since enjoyed steady growth with over 90 clients in the United States.
Chief Executive Officer of Lombard Risk, John Wisbey, commented: "The market has changed greatly in the past quarter of a century. During this period Lombard Risk has been at the forefront of identifying the need for new risk management solutions to satisfy the ever evolving demands of the financial community, and has become a recognized market leader in the collateral management and regulatory reporting fields.
Through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, we have experienced ongoing success. The Company is now almost 300 strong, operating from 11 centres around the world. It has a market-leading suite of integrated risk, regulatory and compliance software widely used by prominent global financial institutions.
Over the next few years we plan to maintain our position as leaders in the risk and regulatory compliance market, continue to identify and develop solutions to meet the 'new world' challenges and continue to expand. A special thanks to the Lombard Risk team that has enabled this to happen and together we wish to acknowledge and thank all of our customers."
John Groetch, Managing Director of the Americas commented: "From 2013 to 2014, we experienced a 47% increase in US-based staff due to the need to support major account wins in both our collateral and regulatory business areas. To accommodate for staff growth and create overall team synergy, the time is fitting to merge these dynamic teams into one cohesive work environment."
