Card Factory, the greeting card retailer that went public in May, has handed a corporate broking mandate to UBS. The win will provide the smallest of comforts to the Swiss bank, which was this week revealed to have lost long-standing FTSE 100 client Anglo American.

Card Factory issued a statement confirming the appointment this morning. UBS was global coordinator on the group's $500 million spring IPO, with bankers Craig Calvert, Nick Bishop and Christopher Smith working on the deal.
