Every IR wants to hear good feedback from investors. But it’s the negative feedback that has the most value. Dan Homan, Investor Relations Director at Currys, joined Enquire, the Investor Relations podcast to explain why honesty and genuine two-way conversations between IR and investors are a must to achieve continuous improvement.   

Prior to joining Currys, Dan was a Director at Citi Investment Research where he was a lead analyst on top ranked teams covering the European Retail sector. Alongside Investor Relations, Dan has responsibility for UK strategy, property and the Group’s defined benefit pension scheme. 

He sheds light on Currys’ approach to investor relations, shareholder engagement, and hosting capital market events. We hear about the challenges that his team and Currys has faced over the past few years, including a takeover bid from Elliot Advisors and company restructures. Coming from the sell-side and now working alongside other departments such as property, Dan brings a lot of additional insight into different areas of the business that he says make him better at IR.
