Creechurch Capital has retained its title for the second year running, having been awarded runner-up in the Investment Management Company of the Year (Isle of Man) category in the prestigious Citywealth International Financial Centre Awards 2016.

Creechurch achieved its shortlisting for the third consecutive year, again beating off competition from major brand names and established companies on the Island. The final shortlist saw it pitched against Cannacord, Coutts and Lloyds for this coveted award.

John Greenwood, CEO of Creechurch Capital, said: “Because we remain firm in our positioning of providing a boutique alternative to our clients, we are no longer seeking fast-growth in our Isle of Man operation. Instead our focus is on quality, excellence and the development of top talent on the Island.

“The sheer scale of the organisations we were shortlisted with should mean that they can beat us every day of the week, but sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. Creechurch is a challenger brand within the market with a sharp focus on clients over shareholders. We’re immensely proud of this latest nod to the exemplary work the team does every day.”

Now in their fifth year, the Citywealth International Financial Centre Awards highlight the excellence of the advisors and managers in the private wealth sector in the major international financial centres.
