To end the year on a high note, Fort has been named Independent Trust Company of the Year at the 2024 WealthBriefing Channel Islands Awards.

We were honoured at this year’s event, held in Jersey, while our Executive Chairman, Jos Ensink, also took home the Lifetime Achievement award.

These awards highlight our commitment to delivering exceptional client services and innovative solutions within the financial services sector and reinforce its position as a trusted partner in the Channel Islands’ wealth management community.

Executive Chairman, Jos Ensink, said: ‘I’m thrilled to see Fort named as Independent Trust Company of the Year. This recognition comes after a hugely successful year as we celebrated our 50th anniversary. It’s a fitting end to 2024.

‘I have worked at Fort for over three decades, but these wins are a testament to our entire team at Fort, who have made the company into what it is today. I am proud of our team and am excited for the momentum to continue into the years ahead.’

Graham McCormack, CEO, added: ‘Investments made for the company and team this year have prepared us to keep ahead of the curve as the offshore financial services industry rapidly develops.

‘I would like to thank everyone for their dedication, collaboration and energy that has led to this moment.’

Jos and members of the Fort team collected their awards at The Royal Yacht Hotel in Jersey on 5 December.
