⚡ Former IG Head of Retail Sales Will Hardy Named Eightcap UK Executive Director

Australian retail FX and CFDs broker Eightcap has appointed industry veteran Will Hardy as Executive Director of its UK entity, Eightcap Group Ltd, according to the Financial Conduct Authority register. The move comes amid significant leadership reshuffling at the firm, including Bryn Newell’s appointment as CEO at Melbourne headquarters and the departure of UK CEO Ollie Rosewell after just eight months.

Hardy brings over 35 years of derivatives market experience, most recently serving as Head of Partners for EMEA at Trade Nation. His career includes senior roles at Zenfinex, TigerWit Group, LMAX Exchange, and over a decade as Head of Retail Sales at IG Group, making him a recognized figure in UK retail trading circles.

The leadership changes follow Eightcap’s recent strategic pivot, which saw the broker end MetaTrader services for third-party prop firms and launch its own Eightcap Challenges product, now integrated with TradingView.
