One Financial Markets Hires Five Ex-Alpari Middle East Executives

One Financial Markets has expanded its reach in the Middle East, with the appointment of five former senior management team members from Alpari DMCC, new premises in Dubai and a new office in Abu Dhabi.

The ex-Alpari DMCC employees will form One Financial Markets’ new account management team in Dubai, bringing over 40 years’ experience in the financial sector.

Hassan Al Aggad, former Head of Sales at Alpari Middle East, has been appointed as UAE Regional Manager. He will head up One Financial Markets’ Dubai-based institutional team, which has moved offices to new premises in Al Reef Tower to accommodate the team expansion. New team members are Mohammad Salah (BDM), Anas Qarish (Senior BDM), Chokri Houimli (BDM) and Adel Aljibrin (BDM).

Hassan Al Aggad comments, “My team and I are honoured to be working for such a solid and ambitious company as One Financial Markets. We met with many brokers after the sad demise of Alpari but felt that One Financial’s products and services were ideal for the market and we knew straight away this was our new home.”

Andrew Henderson, UK Director, One Financial Markets adds, “Despite a tough year for our industry and a backdrop of industry retrenchment and closures, One Financial Markets is experiencing ongoing success and is continuing to grow. We have always focused on providing an excellent customer experience off the back of a secure business platform and believe Hassan and his team are ideally suited to help us with our ambitious expansion plans, ensuring the ethos of our customer-centric approach remains as we grow. Their achievements at Alpari were widely acknowledged as outstanding and we are delighted they are looking to bring that success to One Financial Markets.”
