Wednesday 14 February 2018

Following a rebrand from Volaw Group to VG in September, the fiduciary and administration company has now taken on new employees across all areas of the business.

In the past four months, a total of eight new employees have joined VG, including three trainees.

Lucinda Gouveia joined VG as Trust Officer. Commenting on why she chose VG, she said: “Having worked in both large and small organisations, I was looking for something in the middle, with a family feel and where you don’t feel like a number. VG gives me that but at the same time has enough structure to allow me to grow and fulfil my potential. The emphasis on personal development and CSR was also a big attraction for me and I am looking forward to gaining further qualifications, continuously learning and participating in as many sporting and charity events as possible.”

Olivia Grimstead is the new  Senior Fund Administrator.  She said: “VG was recommended to me as a great company to work for by some local friends who have worked here for a long time. The family atmosphere and opportunity to develop a long and satisfying career really make VG stand out.”
 
Previous employee Emily Roque has returned to VG after three years with another firm. She commented: “When I was asked to return to VG the team seemed so genuinely happy that it was an easy decision. VG has such a diverse client base which makes every day different and this was something I really missed. I’m very happy to be back.”

Jake Huckerby is one of the trainees who joined the Compliance team in October 2017. He said: “I’ve been overwhelmed by the support received from allmy colleagues in my transition from school to work. My first few monthshave been very enjoyable and I hope there are many more years tocome as exciting times lie ahead. I am thrilled by the opportunity offered to me by VG to experience various aspects of the company and get a real feel for what every team does."
 
Mark Hucker, Managing Director of VG commented on the influx of new joiners: “As part of our rebranding process we wanted to bring our recruitment strategy into line with the new face of VG. By actively looking for the right people who can help to shape the future of the business and then offering those people a stimulating career path and experience, we are building a VG ‘family’ committed to a common purpose. We spend a lot of time at work and employees rightly look for more than just the right salary – from personal and professional development to supporting the local community and an active social environment. As an employer it really is important to recognise and value that new partnership so that VG can be as successful over the next 35 years as it has been over the past 35 years.”
