New appointments at Alex Picot Trust

Thursday 19 January 2017

An independent Jersey trust company has reinforced its team with the appointment of a tax consultant and a marketing manager.

Tax consultant Hannah Roynon-Jones, joins Alex Picot Trust to provide Jersey and UK tax compliance, and oversee the exchange of information reporting including FATCA and CRS (Common Reporting Standard).

Meanwhile, communications professional Pauline Ramskill joins Alex Picot Trust to take responsibility for developing and delivering its marketing plans, while supporting the directors in their business development activities. She has a BA (Honours) degree in communication and almost two decades of public relations and marketing experience.

Alex Picot Trust Company Ltd now operates independently to Alex Picot Chartered Accountants.  

Andrew Le Cheminant, Director of Alex Picot Trust, explained: “We’d been seeing a number of locally owned trust companies being taken over or merging, and the time came for us to review our own service and the decision was made to operate separately to the Chartered Accountancy side of the business as a standalone trust and company services provider. This was also the perfect opportunity for us to bring a Tax Consultant into the team to add real strength and depth to our client service offering, bolstering our capabilities in providing the most tax efficient management of private and corporate wealth for our local and global clients.”

“We’re delighted to announce these two key appointments which demonstrate a period of growth for Alex Picot Trust. Since joining us Hannah’s expertise has proven invaluable particularly in supporting our clients to comply with a number of global tax changes, most notably planning ahead for UK tax reforms around UK non-domicile and inheritance tax rules due next year. In appointing Pauline to manage our marketing we are ensuring that our brand presence, both locally and globally, continues to develop in an ever increasingly competitive global market.”
