“In 2016, I joined Tickmill Group to pursue an amazing role within the marketing department. The years I have spent here have helped me grow both professionally and personally. I owe so much of that to every single one of you that I have worked with on a daily basis.

Since 2016 the evolution of the Tickmill brand has been immense, it has expanded globally and has become one of the most respectful brands in the industry. And I couldn’t be any prouder about that!
