Iron Duke
Behind the name
The Duke of Wellington, ‘The Iron Duke’, is one of history’s most revered military heroes, best remembered for leading his troops to victory at the Battle of Waterloo. His mount for 17 continuous hours that day was Copenhagen. The two formed a trusted partnership, one that we emulate with our clients – resolute, agile and prepared.
