The Equiom Group is celebrating after Equiom (Isle of Man) Limited was named ‘Trust Company of the Year – Isle of Man’ at the Citywealth International Financial Centre Awards for the second year running. Its Guernsey and Hong Kong offices were also announced as runners-up in their respective categories.

The awards were established in 2012 to highlight excellence in the private wealth sector across the world’s major international financial centres. The awards ceremony was held at London’s Grange City Hotel on Wednesday 20 January and saw Equiom compete against other prominent fiduciaries.

Equiom was assessed on its technical expertise, market-leading products and services, innovative solutions to private client dilemmas, contribution to the profession, and leadership and vision, among other criteria. The winners were selected as a result of both public voting and judging by a panel of highly respected and experienced practitioners.

Aidan Davin, Managing Director of Equiom (Isle of Man) Limited, commented: ‘I am delighted to accept the Gold award for Equiom Isle of Man. I would like to thank our clients and contacts for their voting support and the panel of judges for once again recognising Equiom as a leader in its field. This is testimony to the Isle of Man team for its continued focus on providing leading expertise and the best possible service to our clients.’

Equiom’s Global CEO, Sheila Dean, added: ‘This is a fabulous achievement for Equiom and the result of a fantastic team effort across the Group. I am immensely proud of our success in every category we were shortlisted in, particularly having only established Equiom in Guernsey and Hong Kong in early 2015. These accolades will significantly support our strategy for growth and increased brand awareness in the Channel Islands and Hong Kong.’
