Grieveson Grant was a prominent stockbroking firm on the London Stock Exchange.
[3] In June 1982 was engaged in merger talks with the long established stockbroking firm of Joseph Sebag & Company.
[4] The prominent merchant bank, Kleinwort Benson, decided to enter the securities market buying Grieveson Grant in April 1986.
[5] Although, like many other banks at the time, Kleinwort Benson contemplated buying a jobbing firm in order to get into that part of the market, in the end it was saved from having to do so by the defection of a number of senior market-makers from Wedd Durlacher Mordaunt as it was acquired by Barclays Bank.
[6] Over a series of further closures and sales, the original business of Grieveson Grant was reduced and the name disappeared from corporate branding.
