In response to the significant growth and development of its trust and corporate services businesses, Collas Crill has made a number of changes to its senior management across its trust teams in Guernsey and Jersey.
Greta Pender has been promoted to Managing Director of Collas Crill Trust Guernsey (CCTG). Greta joined CCTG in September 2024, and has been instrumental in the growth of the firm's client base and team.
Sonia Bourgaize has been appointed Operations Director of Collas Crill Guernsey and Jersey. After five and a half years as the Managing Director of Collas Crill Trust, Sonia brings extensive knowledge in trust operations to the role. She will remain on the Board.
In Jersey Siobhan Crick has moved into the role of Group Commercial Officer of Collas Crill Trust and Corporate Services and will be leading and coordinating the commercial and business development strategy across the trust operations in Jersey and Guernsey.
News of these senior moves comes after a period of growth, both in terms of business and team members.
At the end of last year Tim Gilchrist was appointed as Operations Manager of CCTG, with Abigail Renny joining in September. She was recently promoted to Associate Director. The Guernsey team was further strengthened by Jamie Salmon who joined as a Trust Officer in January.
In Jersey Abbie Wright was appointed as an Assistant Trust Manager at the end of last year, with Paul Parrington joining the team as Client Accounting Officer in January.
In total there are now 24 in the Guernsey trust team, and 10 in Jersey.
Group Managing Director of Collas Crill Trust and Corporate Services, Katie Bonfrer, said: 'With Greta as Managing Director in Guernsey I am confident that the business will go from strength to strength, and I am excited to work with her in her new role. We are very lucky that Sonia's significant expertise will remain in the business and, as Operations Director, she will also be supporting the Jersey team during this period of growth.
'Since we launched the Jersey office in September 2024, Siobhan has been a driving force in the establishment, growth and development of the business. The role of Group Commercial Officer recognises her natural business development acumen.
'These appointments and senior moves reflect the growth and development of our trust business across both Channel Islands, as well as corporate services in Cayman. The senior roles align with people's skill sets and will greatly assist us in achieving the ambitious growth strategy that has been set for TCS as a whole.'
