Aaron Bird has been promoted to director of AFEX Offshore.

The company describes itself as one of the world’s largest non-bank providers of global payment and risk management solutions,

Mr Bird will lead the firm’s sales activity across the Channel Islands and Isle of Man from its Jersey office. He has over 15 years of experience in the financial services sector specialising in treasury and risk management solutions and has been with AFEX since 2006. Before moving to Jersey in January 2016, he worked in AFEX’s London office.

“Since being granted our Investment Business Services license by the Jersey Financial Services Commission little over a year ago, we’ve experienced strong demand for our high-touch service and expertise,” said Stuart Holmes, General Manager for EMEA at AFEX. “In particular, since the Brexit vote in June we’ve seen more and more firms looking to hedge their FX exposure using our collateral free forward facilities. We are delighted at the growth Aaron and his team have achieved and are excited for the future of AFEX Offshore.”
