Former Wirex Marketing Chief Joins Trade Nation

Before joining Trade Nation, Capelle worked at Wirex. He served as Chief Marketing Officer for more than two years. The role was based in London and followed a hybrid working model.

Prior to Wirex, he was Marketing Director at Novakid Inc. He held the position for around one year and six months.

Marketing Roles Across Sky, Dyson, Fintech

His professional background includes senior marketing roles across fintech , education technology, media, and consumer electronics.

Trade Nation Reports Return to Profitability

Trade Nation operates a global brokerage business with licensed entities in the UK, Australia, the Bahamas, South Africa, and Seychelles. The company also maintains a public presence through a sponsorship arrangement with English Premier League club Aston Villa FC.

In its UK operations, Trade Nation reported a net profit of £996,766 for the financial year ended 30 November 2024, a reversal from the prior year’s net loss of £2.2 million. Revenue increased to £21.7 million from £13.4 million, while gross profit rose to £18.1 million. Operating profit reached £636,136, up from a previous operating loss of £2.6 million.

Several factors contributed to the improved performance, including controlled administrative expenses, higher interest income, and the absence of hedging losses, which had totalled £3 million in the previous year. The company’s tax charge also fell significantly, supporting the improved bottom line.
