(Alliance News) - Brian Marsh, the founder of BP Marsh & Partners PLC, sold a GBP15 million stake in the company, increased from his original plan to sell around GBP11 million worth, Singer Capital Markets Securities Ltd said on Tuesday.
BP Marsh is a London-based investor in early stage and small to medium-sized financial services intermediary businesses, and Marsh is its founder and former executive chair. He held the position from 1990 to 2025 and remains on the board as non-executive chair.
On Monday after the London market close, broker Singer said Marsh intended to sell shares worth around GBP11 million at a price of 650 pence per share, through Investec Bank PLC and Singer.
Investec and Singer had received expressions of interest from institutional investors and other interested parties in purchasing the shares, Singer said.
Early Tuesday, Singer said that, as a result of "additional demand from interested parties", Marsh instead sold GBP15.2 million in shares, selling 2.3 million shares at the planned price of 650p.
The share sold represent a 6.2% stake in BP Marsh. Singer didn't say how many shares Brian Marsh retains. However, in October, a stock exchange disclosure showed that Marsh held 13.9 million shares, a 38.5% stake, down from the previous disclosure of 39.3%. This suggests Marsh now has 11.6 million shares, a 31.3% holding.
In February 2024, Marsh offloaded a GBP3.9 million interest in the firm.
Shares in BP Marsh closed down 0.6% at 701.00 pence each in London on Monday.
