In his new role, Mr Beresford will focus on growth strategies and transforming client experience across the business in the UK and beyond.
He has a MSc in Corporate Governance from Bournemouth University and has gained more than 30 years of experience in business advisory, customer experience and marketing. He is currently the Vice-chair of the IoD, a Chartered Governance Professional and a Non-Executive director of a number of well-known Guernsey businesses.
Mr Beresford said: “I’m impressed with the direction that Fort is heading in as a business. It is exactly the kind of organisation I value being a part of. It’s an ambitious, growing business with a desire to make a difference in the market as both a client service business and an employer.
“It’s an exciting time for growth at Fort as it’s a clean sheet for transformation, but with a business that has a 50-year history of stability and reliability.”
Graham McCormack, CEO at Fort, added: “At Fort, we prioritise an exceptional customer journey and Iain brings a wealth of experience to our offering in this area.
“His depth of knowledge in building a great brand is invaluable as we enter this period of strong growth. His skills will support the business from a financial, operational and strategic perspective and we look forward to welcoming him to the team.”
