DC-Services UK Leadership Team

Conflicts Framework at Director Level

Directors declare personal holdings, advisory roles and family interests on the same conflicts register as practitioners. Where a matter touches a declared interest the director steps aside from signoff on that matter; an alternate director or written delegate completes the work. The stepping-aside is recorded in the matter file.

• ›Written intake brief signed by the client
• ›Conflicts screen and independence check
• ›Defined deliverable list and retention envelope

Reporting and Internal Accountability

The leadership team reviews supervisory outcomes on a regular cadence: signoff volumes, reissue rates, deviations from the controlled-access policy and outcomes of any external review. The review is internal but its outputs feed the firm's published policies, including the codified exclusions and retention rules.

• ›Source hashing at intake
• ›Role-based, time-bound access
• ›Two-stage review before release

What the Leadership Team Will Not Do

Directors do not accept custody of client keys, do not place trades, and do not issue investment, tax or legal advice. They do not provide commercial introductions to brokers, exchanges or asset managers. Requests on those subjects are declined in writing, even where the requester is a long-standing counterparty.

Contacting the Leadership Team

Professional approaches to the leadership team are routed through the secretariat. The secretariat triages the request, confirms scope against the firm's published remit and books a response slot with the relevant director. Direct messaging to individual directors outside this route is not used and is not logged as an engagement.
