Strand Hanson Receives FCA Approval as a Sponsor for Main Market Companies

Strand Hanson is pleased to announce that it has been approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to act as a Sponsor to companies listed on the Official List and Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. This new status represents a significant milestone in the firm's growth and reinforces its commitment to delivering high-quality regulatory and corporate finance advisory services to both existing and prospective clients.
Already recognised as the #1 ranked Nominated Adviser (Nomad) for AIM clients amongst independent advisers, Strand Hanson’s sponsor license enables the firm to support a broader range of transactions in the public markets and also positions Strand Hanson to advise on Main-Market listed transactions.
The approval underscores Strand Hanson’s longstanding reputation for excellence in governance, regulatory compliance, and strategic advice. It further enhances the firm’s ability to support clients across the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
Simon Raggett, Chief Executive of Strand Hanson, commented:
“We are delighted to have received approval from the FCA to act as a Sponsor. This development is the result of extensive work by our dedicated team and reflects our continued commitment to providing the highest quality advisory services across all tiers of the public markets.
Our Sponsor status complements our market-leading Nomad business and allows us to support an even broader range of clients, particularly those navigating the complexities of the Main Market.”
The firm looks forward to building a strong and diverse portfolio of Sponsor clients and to deepening its relationships across the UK and international capital markets.
