The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners Jersey Branch has hosted its 2023 Student Awards at a sumptuous afternoon tea ceremony.
This special event celebrated the exceptional achievements of local branch winners and provided a fantastic opportunity for professionals to network, celebrate, and support the accomplishments of their peers in the trust industry.
The ceremony, which took place at the Royal Yacht Hotel, saw an impressive turnout of industry professionals, students, and sponsors, all gathered to honour the hard work and dedication of the top scoring Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) Jersey Branch students from 2023.

Stephen Alexander, Chair of the STEP Jersey Branch, congratulated the award recipients, remarking: “Congratulations to our 2023 Award Winners on their accomplishments. Our students’ dedication continues to be impressively strong, as evidenced again this year and this reflects the dedication and effort they put into their STEP professional exams. We are extremely thankful to the sponsors of these awards who enabled us to recognise the award winners in this way, and to the employers of our students for their invaluable support and recognition of the importance of these qualifications.”
