Island Financial Solutions (IFS), the prominent local firm of IFAs, has appointed Stephen Cryer, a leading figure in the Isle of Man financial services industry, to strengthen its corporate pension activities.

Stephen has worked in the Isle of Man for over 20 years, during which time he enjoyed a long and successful career with Aviva Life (Norwich Union), where he was responsible for the development of all local Aviva Life business.

IFS Director Mike Twist said the appointment was a major boost for the Bucks Road, Douglas based Company and has already led to the introduction of a ground-breaking IFS Pensions Charter, specifically aimed at under-serviced local companies. “We already have a loyal and established retail client base across the island and Stephen’s in-depth knowledge and contacts within the business sector will provide IFS with a firm foothold in the Island’s corporate pensions sector,” said Mike.

“The IFS Pensions Charter has been developed by Steve to address the needs of local businesses who are not currently receiving the service delivery they expect or deserve,” he added.
