Change is constant. But one trend that has reshaped the landscape of London Wholesale brokers more than any other in the last few years is consolidation. Mergers and acquisitions have steadily reduced the number of independent brokers, leaving retail brokers with fewer choices.
Amid this change, Consilium stands proudly independent, thriving in a market where independence has become a rare commodity. But why does it matter? Why should you, as a broker, care about working with an independent wholesale broker?
The answer lies in the extraordinary value independence creates - not just for us, but for you. It means we control our strategy, investment and hiring - free from shareholder-driven priorities, rigid timelines or debt burdens.
Why Independence Matters
Imagine you are working with a broker whose ultimate priority is not your clients but their own investors. You feel the constraints - the push towards specific products or markets, the slow response times, the lack of flexibility, the frustration. Sound familiar?
Now, contrast that with a partner whose only focus is you. That is Consilium. Our independence allows us to be entirely client-led, driven by your needs, your challenges and your opportunities, not by external shareholders.
At Consilium, independence means:
No Channel Conflict - Unlike firms that put ‘boots on the ground’ to compete with retail brokers, we focus entirely on supporting you. We are committed to partnership, not competition.
Long Term Relationships - We are not driven by a cycle of acquisitions, sales or divestments dictated by external shareholders. Our clients and employees know we are here for the long haul, committed to the journey and not at risk of sudden changes due to outside pressures.
Speed and Agility - Without the red tape of corporate bureaucracy, we can respond to market changes faster than most. Decisions are made in-house, quickly and entrepreneurially, without requiring third party sign off.
Entrepreneurial Spirit - We embrace creative problem-solving and invest in the tools, people and resources that help you succeed.
Undiluted Culture - Because we have grown organically rather than through mergers and acquisitions, our culture remains strong, consistent and dedicated to client service. When you work with one of us, you get all of us - fully aligned in purpose and committed to delivering the best outcomes.
How Independence Enables Exceptional Service
Stability and Continuity
For retail brokers, stability is everything. You need to know that your wholesale partner will be there when you need them. Our independence ensures the stability of our organisation, our employees and our client service delivery. Our ownership isn’t changing hands; our focus is not shifting. You can rely on us for consistent, long-term support.
A Personal Connection
In an automated world full of faceless processes, we offer something unique. Access. At Consilium, our leadership team is directly involved in the business and accessible to our partners. You’re not just a number on a spreadsheet to us. You’re part of a partnership where your voice is heard, and your priorities are ours.
Reinvestment in You
Instead of funnelling profits into external investors, we reinvest in what matters - our technology, our people and your success - enabling an all-around better experience.
