Long-time IG Group executive Nick Higgins has left the brokerage firm after almost 13 years at the company.

Higgins joined IG as a copywriter in 2012 and went on to hold several senior marketing roles at the brokerage group.

That included a stint as Head of UK Marketing and Campaign Strategy. Most recently, he was the company’s Head of Marketing for the UK, UAE & South Africa.

During his time at the firm, IG launched several large-scale branding initiatives, including a long-standing partnership with the England cricket team and sponsorship of several UK-held NFL games.

IG Group has made several changes to personnel over the last 18 months.

Long-time executive and UK head Matt Brief recently departed from the firm and the company brought in Michael Healy as its new Commercial Director. Healy has previously held senior roles at Paddy Power and Ryanair.
