Shore Capital Hires Matthew Elliott as a Senior Political
Adviser
Shore Capital is pleased to announce that Matthew Elliott has
joined the Group as a Senior Political Adviser to its Capital
Markets business.
Mr. Elliott is currently also a Senior Fellow at the Legatum
Institute, an international think tank, where he is focusing on the
UK-US trade deal and researching the rise of populism. Having been
Chief Executive of Vote Leave, the official Brexit campaign in the
2016 EU referendum, he is now one of the UK's foremost political
campaigners. He also led the "NOtoAV" campaign that won the 2011
referendum on the Alternative Vote.
"During a time of transformational changes in the UK in relation
to its relationship with the rest of the world as a result of
Brexit, Matthew will provide a unique perspective for our Capital
Markets business and our institutional and corporate clients," said
Simon Fine, Chief Executive of Shore Capital Markets. "We are
delighted to welcome someone with Matthew's incredible track record
and considerable political experience onto our team."
Matthew Elliott said: "Business, the economy and investment are
all now so interlinked with both domestic politics and
international affairs that I am delighted to be joining Shore
Capital to help their clients understand the changing political
situation both in the UK and overseas and to also explain some of
the public policy changes occurring as Britain leaves the European
Union. The intersection between business and politics has always
fascinated me so I'm delighted to be able to advise such a first
class team."
As a policy entrepreneur, Matthew has founded and run numerous
award winning campaigns, starting with the TaxPayers' Alliance
(TPA), where he won the Atlas Templeton Freedom Award for 'The
Single Income Tax'. At Business for Britain (BfB), the precursor to
Vote Leave, he oversaw the publication of 'Change, or Go: How
Britain would gain influence and prosper outside an unreformed EU',
which became a key blueprint for Brexit and was serialised in the
Daily Telegraph. Matthew has been described by the Financial Times
as "one of the most formidable political strategists in
Westminster", and by the New European as "an unsung titan of the
Brexit cause". He has written four books, numerous op-eds, appears
regularly on TV and radio, and is a frequent speaker both in the UK
and overseas.
After earning a first class degree in Government from the London
School of Economics, he worked in both the British and European
Parliaments before setting up the TaxPayers' Alliance aged 25.
