Article Abstract:
Leeds, England, has seen the entry of three stockbrokers from outside the region and a further broker from within West Yorkshire. No single broker has maintained dominance over a long period, though BWD Rensburg is aiming for market leadership. There are two types of brokers in the city, partnerships and brokers forming part of companies which may be backed by parents. Companies from outside the region that have sought to penetrate the market in Leeds have tended to be more successful if they have carried out mergers with other companies in Leeds.

Article Abstract:
Competition is strong among stockbrokers in north-west England. Costs have risen, margins are under pressure, and regulations have become more complex. A new share settlement system has been introduced and nominee accounts have been set up for some clients. Brokers operating in the region include WH Ireland and Albert E Sharp. Companies have benefited from the introduction of the Alternative Investment Market and a strong market for shares in the UK from 1995 to 1996.
