Over 75 Saffery Champness partners, from offices in the UK and Europe, gathered in Guernsey last week to celebrate the firm’s 40th anniversary.
Their visit coincided with the firm’s annual partners conference hosted by the Guernsey office which welcomed partners from England, Scotland and Switzerland.
One of the visitors was London-based consultant Clive Nicholson who established the Guernsey business in 1977. Since then the firm has grown remarkably and is now one of the largest independent fiduciary service providers on the island, employing more than 120 people across its trust, funds, tax and accountancy business.
During the visit the partners were joined by the Guernsey staff at Octopus Bar and Grill for a drinks reception before heading off to a private dinner.
On the final night the partners enjoyed a special 40th anniversary party celebrating Guernsey traditions. The event featured a traditional Guernsey country fayre with crown and anchor games, wild flowers by The Little Torteval Flower Company, mobile bar service by Aperitif and Haut Maison, and performances from local musician Josh Brown and Guernsey band ‘City Limits’.
Saffery Champness managing director Nick Batiste said: “The firm has come a long way since 1977 and we are proud of our well established roots within Guernsey’s financial services industry. It was an honour to be joined by all the firm’s partners on this special occasion.
“Meeting partners regularly is really important for our Guernsey management team to not only discuss our objectives but how we can continue to build on our success and achieve further growth.”
