The people
Meet the team
Trader owned and trader operated. Decades of combined experience buying and selling softwood, and a desk you can call rather than a queue you sit in.
Hover a card, or tap one on a phone, to see a little more about the person.

Waiting on the team
Every name, title, city and photograph here is exactly as Diorio publishes it today. What each card is still missing is the same two lines: a start year and one personal detail. That is the whole ask, and it is short enough to answer in a minute.
[ Headcount needs settling too: the current home page says seven full time traders and this list has nine ]
Built on trust
One desk, start to finish
You get a trader who knows your book rather than whoever picks up. That is the whole argument for a company this size, and it is why the relationships outlast the markets.
