Gavin Casey, the former chief executive of the London Stock Exchange (LSE), has added to his list of directorships Abingdon Capital, a financial services company listed on the Alternative Investment Market with plans to move into hedge funds later this year.

Casey already holds a number of executive roles, including at Knowledge Technology Solutions, a financial information firm, and Corporate Synergy, an advisory boutique wholly owned by Abingdon, which he has chaired for six months. Under Casey's leadership, Corporate Synergy added a corporate broking business to its existing corporate finance and private equity activity.
