Levmet’s business model is centred around three principles: (1) trading is concentrated on liquid markets, (2) create a diversified portfolio of products balanced across geographies, products, counterparties and markets, and (3) strong risk management.

Levmet has a conservative approach to trading base metals and hard commodities, concentrating on highly liquid product flows and exploiting low risk arbitrage. Since inception, the Company has been profitable through the commodity cycle. Levmet takes risk management very seriously – all trading positions are systematically logged, managed and realised through tight risk management systems.

Levmet has two main revenue streams:

• Proprietary Trader – trading profits from clear market arbitrage opportunities
• Physical Trading – building the business by adding value through our expertise in risk management and supply chain through our strong new team of industry experts.

COMPANY BACKGROUND: Formed in 2012, the Company is privately owned by management and a group of senior employees. Levmet has quickly established itself as one of the market’s leading non ferrous and bulk commodities traders despite a period of global recession and declining commodity prices.

The Company is both a futures and physical trader; the business is primarily focused on metals and hard commodities including copper, iron ore, coal, steel, aluminium, zinc, nickel and other minor metals.

Levmet actively trades on The London Metal Exchange with over $100bn notional value of trading annually.

Led by Ashley Levett the team has an outstanding track record of quickly building profitable businesses. Levmet now has an excellent opportunity to significantly expand its franchise and significantly increase its market share.

The Company’s vision is to expand upon its current trading capability into other familiar products and related business areas to become a diversified, fully integrated and significantly profitable trading company.

ENTERTAINMENT

To truly blow your guests away, your choice of entertainment is critical. Make sure performers are not only top notch, but right for the event and audience. It’s always tempting to opt for personal style preferences but if you do so, your event may not feel integrated. And it probably won’t resonate with the guests. Having been involved in the music industry for thirty years, we offer advice on the correct style of performer as well as attesting to their professionalism and reliability.

CONFERENCES & SEMINARS

From the sourcing of venues and accommodation to the booking of the appropriate speakers, right down to a seamless registration process and the impeccable organization of all the connected social events, we will ensure the entire experience is as stress-free and worthwhile for you, as it is for your delegates.
