In the world of private client practice, where trust and reputation are the currency of success, Saffery Trust Guernsey has emerged as a shining example of excellence. The firm has been shortlisted for not one, but two accolades at the prestigious 2024 STEP Private Client Awards: Trust Company of the Year (midsize firm) and Employer of the Year. This nod is a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality service and employee satisfaction.

Key Points:

• Saffery Trust Guernsey has been shortlisted for Trust Company of the Year (midsize firm) and Employer of the Year at the 2024 STEP Private Client Awards.
• The firm has a track record of success, having been previously named Independent Private Client Trust Company.
• The STEP Awards are a significant benchmark of excellence in the private client sector.

Trust Company of the Year: A Midsize Firm with a Mighty Reputation

It’s no small feat to be recognised in the Trust Company of the Year category, especially for a midsize firm. This category is fiercely competitive, with numerous companies vying for the top spot. Saffery Trust’s shortlisting is a clear indicator that size does not dictate quality. The firm has consistently punched above its weight, delivering bespoke services that rival those of its larger counterparts.

Employer of the Year: A Testament to Employee Satisfaction

Equally impressive is the firm’s nomination for Employer of the Year. In an industry where burnout can be as common as bow ties at a black-tie event, Saffery Trust stands out for its commitment to its employees’ well-being. This recognition suggests that the firm not only manages its clients’ assets with care but also invests in its most valuable asset: its people.

Why the STEP Awards Matter

The STEP Private Client Awards are the Oscars of the private client world, minus the red carpet and tearful acceptance speeches. They are a benchmark of excellence, recognising firms that set the standard in private client services. Winning or even being shortlisted for a STEP Award can significantly enhance a firm’s reputation, attracting new clients and top talent.
