London, April 15 2003 - Rolfe & Nolan won a specialist prize for services to the global listed derivatives industry at the recent Securities Industry Software Awards, sponsored by the London Stock Exchange and organised by Summerson Goodacre. The ceremony took place at London`s House of Lords on April 11.

The Specialist Awards were determined by the team that has been working on the review, Systems for the Securities Industry (2003 edition). The team based its awards on specific qualities that became apparent during the research. Rolfe & Nolan`s award for services to the global listed derivatives industry was made as market leader within a specialist sector.

Commenting on the award, Bob Freeman, Rolfe & Nolan chief executive, said “It is always gratifying to receive awards like this, which are a barometer of how we are perceived in the market. We see this as confirmation of our business approach, in which innovation and customer service are given pride of place.”

The review Systems for the Securities Industry (2003 Edition) will be published by Summerson Goodacre by the end of May and features all of the companies involved in the Awards process. Services from over 50 companies will be detailed and a copy of the review will be sent to every securities trading company in the UK.
