Spreadex has been named as Best Spread Betting Provider at the 2016 City of London Wealth Management Awards.

The firm was presented with the award by BBC newsreader Sophie Raworth at the ceremony at The Guildhall, London.

The accolade follows Spreadex being four times named as Best Spread Betting Firm for Customer Service in the Investment Trends awards.

Spreadex Marketing Communications Manager Andy MacKenzie said: “We have improved our trading platform with a number of developments in recent years and we are delighted to receive this recognition.

“Over the years we have built up a strong reputation for our personal service, account management, credit and margin offering, and specialist AIM stock provision so it’s very reassuring that traders have been voting for us as their number one provider.”

Spreadex was formed in 1999 and now employs more than 120 people, offering both financial spread betting and sports spread betting from one account.
