Almost 50 people across HSBC’s teams in Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man have either been promoted or started in new roles over the first quarter of the year.

The 46 promotions and moves form part of HSBC’s ongoing strategy to support people with their career and professional development aspirations, by nurturing a culture of reward, recognition and development.

Welcoming and congratulating those receiving promotions and starting in new roles with the bank, Warwick Long; CEO, HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man, said: “We’re focused on creating a dynamic and agile organisation and championing the benefits of a diverse and inclusive environment, where career development and progression is supported. I’m delighted to see people across all our island jurisdictions seizing the opportunities open to them within HSBC.”

These include Susan Reeves; Relationship Manager and Abdul Sohail; Head of Risk Oversight, Private Banking, in Guernsey (both pictured top).

Elvina Aghajanyan, Head of HR at HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man, added: “We are continuing to roll out a number of professional development and recognition programmes this year including our Shadow Board and RISE initiatives, which aim to support personal and professional career growth, and support our ambition to create an environment where everyone can thrive.

“We’re driven by our purpose – to open up a world of opportunity, including career opportunities for everyone, and we remain committed to ensuring our colleagues can achieve their career aspirations with the bank.”

HSBC is expanding professional development initiatives across the Crown Dependencies, with the bank saying this will enhance opportunities for employees in Guernsey and Sark, as well as Jersey and the Isle of Man
