Trustpilot plans £1bn float in London


The Danish founder of Trustpilot hailed the “smart money” in London’s technology scene yesterday as his company announced plans for a £1 billion float in the city.

Trustpilot is the first large company from the European Union to announce plans to float in London this year.
