The list is compiled annually and aims to identify, recognise, promote and introduce the rising stars of the private client practitioner community.

Mr Bird has been instrumental in developing Moore Stephens’ Family Office service, assisting families and individuals with compliance support, helping them effectively structure their wealth in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

He said: “Being listed has given me great opportunities to meet practitioners like myself from different parts of the trust sector. It has been very rewarding to get out and about and show them what Moore Stephens, Guernsey, and the Channel Islands have to offer.”

Clive Barton, senior partner at Moore Stephens, said: “Being listed as one of the industry’s rising stars for a second year is a great achievement for Sam, and is very well deserved. He has certainly made the most of the opportunities it provides in taking positive messages about our offering to new contacts.”
