Consultative Committee Chair appointed for UK bond Consolidated Tape

ETS Connect UK, provider of the UK bond Consolidated Tape (CT), today announces the appointment of Paul Gover as Chair of the newly formed Consultative Committee.

The establishment of the Consultative Committee represents a key step in the governance framework of ETS Connect UK, ensuring structured and ongoing engagement with market participants and stakeholders across the fixed income ecosystem.

Strengthening Industry Engagement

The Consultative Committee has been formed to provide independent industry input and expert guidance on the development and operation of the UK bond CT. It will serve as a forum for dialogue between ETS Connect UK and a broad cross-section of market participants, including users of the CT data, contributors, vendors and academia.

As Chair, Paul Gover will lead the Committee’s work in supporting transparency, and the effective functioning of the consolidated tape. Paul brings extensive experience in fixed income markets, electronic trading, and market structure.

The UK bond CT has the potential to significantly enhance transparency and price discovery in fixed income markets. I look forward to working with Committee members and the ETS Connect UK team to ensure that the service reflects the needs of market participants and delivers meaningful benefits to the wider market.Paul Gover, Chair of the UK bond CT Consultative Committee
