Britannia Global Markets Receives Category 4 Membership of London Metal Exchange

LONDON, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Britannia Global Markets (Britannia), the FCA regulated financial services firm specialising in derivatives broking including foreign exchange, energy, agriculture, base metals and financial products is pleased to announce that due to growing client demand for its metals trading services, it applied to the London Metal Exchange (LME) and has now received confirmation of its Category 4 membership.

Having focused on Over-The-Counter (OTC) metal trading for the past three years, Britannia joins the LME amid demand from clients for more direct market access.

Steve Pettitt, CEO at Britannia Global Markets, said:

"The LME remains the world's most important and preeminent trading venue for base metals, so we are very pleased to receive our Cat 4 membership. Demand for metals trading at Britannia Global Markets has grown to such an extent that our clients will benefit hugely from this move. Being able to trade directly via the LME will greatly enhance our metals offering from several standpoints, including pricing, transparency and above all credibility."

Jamie Turner, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Trading at LME, said:

"We are delighted that Britannia Global Markets will be joining the LME as a Category 4 member. As well-established participants in the metals sector we look forward to them bringing additional liquidity to our market."
