The appointment will strengthen the firm’s provision of business services at a time when good corporate governance is growing in importance.
“The importance of effective company secretarial administration shouldn’t be underestimated,” said Mr Cluett. “Businesses, particularly those operating in a licensed industry or environment, must ensure that they follow best practice. Good governance ensures businesses maximize opportunities while mitigating risks.
“Regulation and reporting requirements are on the increase, in many business sectors both locally and globally. Businesses must be on top of their statutory obligations.”
Redwood Co Sec Limited offers businesses a bespoke and flexible company secretarial solution, including registry filings in Guernsey, board meeting management, maintenance of statutory registers and the preparation of statutory documents. Redwood’s experts can also provide a review of company records from a governance perspective to ensure full compliance.
Mr Cluett is an experienced financial administrator having worked in the fiduciary sector in Guernsey. He holds an International Diploma in Financial Administration from the Institute of Administrative Management, a Diploma in Offshore Finance and Administration from the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators and he has also completed the Certificate in Leadership and Management with the Institute of Leadership and Management.
He is also the director of a start-up fitness business, giving him direct experience of board responsibilities in a fast moving sector.
James Wood, Chief Executive of Redwood said: “Tom is a fantastic addition to our team. His expertise in corporate governance will be invaluable to our clients who need to ensure their company secretarial function has the appropriate qualifications, capability and relevant experience. A capable company secretary is a valuable resource and a board should use it as they navigate the current business climate with its increased focus on transparency and accountability.”
