Quantum Group Appoints Advisory Board

Quantum Group, the fintech and security company, is pleased to announce the formation of an advisory board to help Quantum Group’s executive team, led by Founder and CEO Floyd Woodrow MBE DCM, prepare the business for the next stage of its development. 

Professor Stefan Allesch-Taylor CBE FKC FRSA will chair the new board. The Advisory Board will provide business development advice to deliver the Group’s three-year business plan and strategic capital markets advice on liquidity events, including targeting an IPO in the second half of 2026. The Advisory Board plans to meet with corporate brokers and financial advisors in the coming months to explore options. 

Professor Allesch-Taylor is an experienced financial services entrepreneur and has served as Chair or CEO of numerous public and private companies operating in more than 15 countries, representing combined assets of over $20 billion. Professor Allesch-Taylor will be joined by Stephen Etchells, Dr Zenon Gray and Antony Legge, all experienced City executives, in advising the Group. 

Quantum Group comprises foreign exchange, international payments and expense management company Volopa; cashback and rewards platform Verve; security consultancy Valkyrie; and cyber security specialist Forensic Control. James Radford, formerly CEO of Revolut UK, was recently appointed as CEO of Volopa, and has joined the operational board of Quantum Group as Chief of Fintech and Banking. With more than three decades of financial services and fintech experience, James will drive Volopa’s growth in the UK and other markets.

Floyd Woodrow MBE DCM, Founder and CEO, Quantum Group, said: “Building up to a potential IPO next year means it is a hugely exciting time at Quantum Group. I am delighted that such an experienced team, led by Stefan, has formed our new Advisory Board to help ensure we are in the best possible shape to deliver our growth plans.” 

Professor Allesch-Taylor added: “Quantum has an exciting suite of businesses with excellent management teams. I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues to help the Company meet, and exceed, its objectives over the coming months and years.”
