Julian Wells, director of Whitecap Consulting, said: “We’re delighted to be working with one of the fastest growing and most exciting technology businesses in the financial services industry.

“Nostrum is a business that is experiencing significant demand for its services in its core markets and in new markets where it has opened up opportunities.
