The founding principle of Dunn Commodities Limited is that the opportunity of a lifetime lasts for the lifetime of the opportunity.
DCL entered the marketplace in January 2004. The business was founded by Greg Dunn, a time-served professional in the trading and broking of agricultural commodities who saw that, even in such a mature and high service-level industry, it was a propitious time to introduce a fresh approach.
The business returned remarkable figures in its first year of trading, turning over almost £2 million. This was virtually doubled in year two, followed by further consolidation and enhanced profitability in 2006.
What began life as a one-man operation in January 2004 has already flourished to become a significant business, employing a close-knit team of seven people. Pressure on desk space has prompted a move into much larger premises, with the headroom for anticipated further growth, supported by sophisticated communications and industry-best management technology.
