Richard Wilson, CEO of interactive investor, says: “As an industry stalwart who exemplifies integrity and honesty, Richard Stone’s understanding and experience of the business have been greatly valued during ii’s acquisition and the initial integration planning. I am confident that the service-driven culture that he and his team have created, will help us integrate the businesses.
“I am looking forward to spending more time at Aylesbury, working with the Share team and welcoming their customers to our award-winning range of products and services. I would like to thank Richard for his dedication to The Share Centre and wish him the very best for the future.”
Richard Stone says: “It has been a real pleasure working at Share for more than 14 years and leading the business since 2014.

In leaving Share, I will miss working with many exceptional people, all of whom are dedicated to serving personal investors.
“The deal with interactive investor undoubtedly remains the right next step for the business and for our customers. Scale will enable the business to face into the challenges of technology and regulation, while continuing to offer customers high-quality low-cost services.
