The UK boss of PwC said 'materially' more companies are looking to list on the stock market – fuelling hopes of a revival in the City. Marco Amitrano, the auditor's senior partner, said reforms to market rules have helped to boost interest in firms going public in Britain – following a dearth of floats in recent years. He told the Daily Mail: 'There's more organisations looking at London to potentially list than there were this time last year.' Amitrano would not disclose the names of any companies planning initial public offerings (IPOs), which are among the kind of deals that PwC works on. A 2026 revival would build on glimmers of hope seen late last year when Shawbrook bank, Beauty Tech and Princes floated.
