Global corporate, private client, and fund services provider, Hawksford, has promoted 63 employees to new roles throughout its international client facing and business services teams; these include one director and one associate director in Jersey.
Across the business there have been a further nine promotions in Jersey, 18 in both the Hong Kong and China offices, 14 in Singapore, 11 in Jersey and two in London. The director appointments include Collette Holt to Director of the global Customer Service Support (CSS) Team. Collette already led the CSS team in Jersey and will now expand that remit globally to cover among others, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Bringing more than 16 years’ experience of client onboarding and customer services management into the role, Collette will also be responsible for the smooth introduction and adoption of the CSS model across newly acquired businesses to ensure cohesion across jurisdictions, and in support of the organisation’s future expansion plans.
Associate Director promotions include Abi Cabral (shown in the main picture) to Associate Director of Finance in Jersey, leading the cost management team, supporting the management and implementation of group accounting policies, leading the global audit process and streamlining internal cost procedures across the Group. She will be responsible for guiding the business to fully consolidate the accounting and finance processes for any new acquisitions.
The promotions follow a year of rapid expansion and growth after the investment by European fund manager STAR Capital Partnership LLP (STAR) in February 2021, which saw Hawksford expand its client services offering across the Asia-Pacific Region to now covering 13 jurisdictions.
Michel van Leeuwen, Group Chief Executive at Hawksford, commented: “I am extremely proud of the team for their dedication to supporting our international growth ambitions and these promotions reflect and recognise their commitment to our continued success as a business.
“Last year was full of positive change for Hawksford and it is through the dedication of our people that we have been able to continue to deliver exceptional results for our clients and expand into new markets. As we continue our emphasis on growth, our smart working culture and flexibility across borders undoubtedly play a fundamental role in supporting our teams in achieving our joined aspirations.”
