The winners were selected by an independent panel of judges.

The firm said the win “reflects Crestbridge FOS’s deep understanding of the Middle East region, a market where it has developed strong relationships over a number of years, supporting the global and increasingly complex objectives of a growing number of families based in the region”. 

In selecting Crestbridge FOS for the award, the judges noted “the firm’s dedication to the Middle East, evidenced through its continued enhancement of Sharia-compliant structures”, as well as its wider growth and evolution as an independent business over the past year. 

Heather Tibbo, CEO of Crestbridge Family Office Services, said: “To have won this particular award for the second year in a row is a reflection of our sustained focus on delivering superior client service to families in the Middle East. 

“This is a region where, as a team, we have gained considerable experience and knowledge over a long period of time. 

She continued: “There is no doubt that clients appreciate our team’s ability to understand their needs and demands as well as our specific Islamic Finance capabilities, and we continue to focus on enhancing our service capabilities in this important region.” 

Stephen Harris, CEO of ClearView Financial Media’s and publisher of WealthBriefing, added: "We have seen a marked increase in entrants and interest in all our global awards programmes and Wealthbriefing MENA is no exception. 

“These awards are so beneficial as they give organisations and individuals the opportunity to clarify their strategic thinking, have it independently validated, and be recognised internally and externally.”
