The BBC stated Foxtons are paid commission by Spark Energy Ltd.[7] On 27 August 2013, Foxtons unveiled its flotation on the London Stock Exchange to raise £55m from private investors.[8] On 1 July 2014, Michael Brown stepped down as CEO, citing personal reasons for his decision. Previous COO, Nic Budden took on the role of CEO.[9] OperationsFoxtons has 67 offices.[10] It is a member of The Property Ombudsman, The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) (Licensed Member),[11] The Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) (Licensed Member),[12] [13][14] and the National Approved Letting Scheme.
