Business

Through establishing a network of agents, couriers and shippers he was able to provide funds to the armies of the Duke of Wellington in Spain and Portugal. In 1818 he arranged a £5 million loan to the Prussian government and the issuing of bonds for government loans formed a mainstay of his bank?s business. He gained a position of such power in the City of London that by 1825-6 he was able to supply enough coin to the Bank of England to enable it to avert a liquidity crisis.
