Friday 01 September 2017

Two of SANNE’s Jersey staff have been shortlisted in Citywealth’s ‘Future Leaders’ awards – which identifies rising stars under the age of 40 in the UK financial services sector.

Daniel Pringle (left) and John Le Breton (right) have been named as finalists in the Business Development Initiative of the Year and Trustee of the Year categories.

Mr Pringle, who is 37 years old, was promoted to the position of director in SANNE’s Private Client business earlier this year. He helped develop and lead the implementation of SANNE’s response to regulations emerging from the global Common Reporting Standard and US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA).

Mr Le Breton joined SANNE as a graduate trainee and is now a senior manager within the company’s Private Client business. As part of his work, the 30-year-old has played an instrumental role in a Fintech start-up going live – which supports SMEs across the UK.

Phil Le Vesconte, Head of Private Client at SANNE, said: "To be named on the shortlist for this prestigious Citywealth award is in itself an achievement, and reflects the depth of expertise and experience that both John and Daniel have built up in their careers already. I want to congratulate them and urge our clients and the wider community to place their vote. These nominations also show the strength of talent that we have in Jersey, and the wider Channel Islands, when it comes to developing and offering best-in-class services to our clients across the globe."

Mr Le Vesconte added: "SANNE is committed to continually improving the services that we provide whether that’s in private client, corporate or alternative asset administration and reporting services.  We do that by identifying first class people and nurturing that talent, from graduate trainees to more senior levels, to deliver a depth of expertise and skills that benefits our clients."

The 'Future Leaders' award winners will be announced in November after judging from a panel of recommended young professionals in private wealth management. The public can also vote online and the judges will take those votes into consideration when they make their final decisions. Voting is open until 15 October.

The latest awards shortlisting for SANNE comes after the Jersey-headquartered company was named as a finalist in the ‘Trust Company of the Year’ category at the annual STEP Private Client Awards, the winner will be announced in London on 6 September.
