Spread Co

Spread Co Ltd (Spread Co) is a privately-owned company founded in 2006 by former chief financial officer of CMC Markets, Ajay Pabari. Mr Pabari set out to find a custom-built trading platform that would make it easy and convenient for financial traders to trade from.

Spread Co's trading platform is a nice powerful 'in house' built platform, called Saturn. It's available as a desktop download or as a web interface. One point of note is that at the time of writing it does not offer a mobile app.
