Jersey Advocate honoured by Citywealth

Wednesday 07 May 2014

Advocate Kathryn Purkis, Collas Crill's pan Island head of Fiduciary, has been named on the Honours list, Citywealth's highest accolade.

Advocate Purkis said: "I'm very pleased indeed to be listed in august company in the Honours list and want to thank anyone who was kind enough to vote me in. But what I am even more delighted about is the new recognition afforded to Mason Birbeck in Jersey and Angela Calnan in Guernsey, who have entered these lists for the first time, because this goes to demonstrate the increasing regard in which Collas Crill's non-contentious fiduciary offering is held, and our increasing strength in depth in this area of practice."
