Trust and Corporate Services Provider Equiom Group has made two senior appointments to its Jersey business.
Heather Bestwick joins the company as a non-executive director and Hiren Mistry has been appointed legal counsel.
Ms Bestwick was previously the Deputy CEO and Technical Director of Jersey Finance, where she led the delivery of Jersey Finance's technical services, enabling effective consultation and communication between Jersey's Finance Industry, Government and the Financial Services Commission on all legislative and regulatory matters that affect the Industry.
She said: “Equiom is an ambitious and forward thinking organisation, and joining the board of the Jersey office at this stage of its evolution is tremendously exciting; I am looking forward to working with the executive team to build on the success of the business locally."
Mr Mistry previously held senior associate positions in a number of Jersey law firms, where he gained a wealth of experience in Jersey Commercial, Trust Litigation and Asset Tracing cases. He has written several published legal articles and opinions and spoken at a number of key events in Jersey. As Equiom’s legal counsel, he will review new and existing client structures to identify potential for offering added value and provide legal support and advice to the client teams in Jersey. He will also support the Group Legal Director with strategic decisions related to the broad range of products and services offered across the group.
Sheila Dean, group Managing Director added: “Both Heather and Hiren are very well respected within the Jersey business community and they bring with them a wealth of experience. They are invaluable additions to the senior team at Equiom and I’m delighted to welcome them to the group."
