Estera has been shortlisted as Trust Company of the Year in the Isle of Man for the prestigious Citywealth International Financial Centre Awards 2017.

The fiduciary and administration services provider has also been shortlisted in the same category for Jersey and Guernsey, and Chief Executive Officer Farah Ballands has been nominated for ‘Inspirational Woman of the Year’ in the magazine’s Powerwomen Awards 2017.

Sean Dowling, Group Director of Estera in the Isle of Man, said: “To be shortlisted for Trust Company of the Year in three separate jurisdictions demonstrates the strength and depth we are able to offer our clients. It is further testament to the hard work and commitment of our team delivering quality service to our clients.”

Estera employs more than 350 people across 10 jurisdictions, including more than 50 people at its Douglas office.

The Citywealth IFC Awards, now in their sixth year, were established to highlight excellence in the private wealth sector across the major international finance centres, while the Powerwomen Awards recognise individuals and companies who maximise the potential of women in wealth. Winners in both awards are selected through a combination of an assessment by an independent panel of industry judges and a public vote.

The winners will be announced at ceremonies in London in early 2017.
