Allan Moss: The quiet Australian who is making a big noise in White City and the Isle of Wight

It's an approach that brought in a 67 per cent increase in profits last year, to A$823m, and has gained Macquarie a market value that recently hit A$14bn. That's not bad for a company which, 20 years ago, was an arm of the now-defunct Hill Samuel. "We started life as the subsidiary of an English merchant bank," concludes Moss. "As we expand in London, there is the sense of coming home."

But while its growth is racing like the hare, Macquarie's strategy is as purposeful and steady as the tortoise. With his quiet, low-key manner, the bank's chief executive, Allan Moss, has steered it through a period of exceptional organic growth - Macquarie has made only one large acquisition in its 35-year history.

He was a tall right-arm fast-medium bowler, who mainly opened the bowling for Middlesex in the 1950s and 1960s. Their playing strength was relatively weak over this period of time, and Moss sometimes struggled alone carrying the bowling attack. In 1954, he undertook his first overseas tour with the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to the West Indies, and played his first Test. Spread over a six-year period, his nine T
