Private client, corporate services and fund administration business Oak Group has appointed a new Jo Gorrod as Managing Director of its Jersey office.

Jo Gorrod, who has more than 20 years’ experience working in finance and has been a member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries since 1999, joined Oak Group in 2018 as a Client Services Director, prior to which she held the same title at Equiom Group.

In her new role, she will support the business in delivering its three-year strategy, which focuses on the cultural, operational, and commercial transformation of the business.

CEO Graham McCormack commented: “Jo has been a highly valued member of the team since joining us and is a natural fit for the role of managing director. Our aim is to be a purpose led organisation meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future, and Jo’s leadership skills make her perfectly placed to support the firm in achieving this goal.”
