The joint venture with trust and fiduciary services firm Willow Street Group will be led on Crestbridge’s side by their Family Office Group Heads, Heather Tibbo and Paul Hunter.
The move comes after Crestbridge opened an office in New York last year to support its growing US-based institutional client base.
“This represents a genuine commitment from both Crestbridge and Willow Street, and is a hugely positive step in helping us to realise our ambitions in the US, a market we are focused on and where our business is seeing significant growth thanks to our independence and emphasis on excellence and service quality,” John Harris, Chairman of Crestbridge, said.
“Together with our Family Office Group Heads Heather Tibbo and Paul Hunter, I’m looking forward to working with the team at Willow Street, in whom we have found a true partner.”
Phillip Harrington, Chairman and CEO of Willow Street, added: “Not only does Crestbridge offer global capabilities and further open up significant international opportunities for Willow Street, it is also a firm with a culture and client profile that mirror our own, making the collaboration an easy one. This is an exciting move that will enhance an already powerful value proposition for families looking for the highest level of service, integrity, and commitment.”
