Appointment of Chief Executive Officer
The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Graham
Sheward as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Director with
immediate effect.
Graham will succeed Gordon Marr who, as announced in March, is
retiring from the Company. Gordon is stepping down as CEO and
Director upon Graham's appointment. He will remain with the Company
to ensure a smooth handover and will formally leave the Company on
30(th) September this year.
Graham is an experienced international financial services
director with more than 20 years' experience of developing
successful international financial services businesses across a
wide range of jurisdictions, including UK, Isle of Man, Jersey,
Guernsey, Ireland, Mauritius, Singapore and South Africa. He has
experience in managing and leading regulated multi-jurisdictional
banking, investment, fund & corporate administration, trust
& fiduciary, and outsourcing businesses. Graham moved to the
Isle of Man in 1999 with NatWest Offshore, and subsequently held
various executive roles with Zurich Financial Services before
becoming Managing Director of Close Brothers Group, Offshore
Banking Division. After spending 8 years in Mauritius holding a
country corporate director role for Barclays and then as MD of SGG
Group (now IQ-EQ), he recently returned to the Isle of Man to take
up the role of Managing Director of the Sancus Group local
office.
Graeme Easton, Chairman, said:
"I would like to welcome Graham as the new CEO of the Company.
Graham was selected following a rigorous selection process
organised with an external consultant. His wide range of experience
and management credentials position him well to provide the
leadership required to deliver the next phase of our strategy.
"Both personally and on behalf of the Board I would like to
thank Gordon for his many years' service and commitment to the
Company. Gordon joined the Group in 1988 and during that time has
held various roles within the Hansard Group and worked tirelessly
for the Company. We will continue to work closely with Gordon
during the coming months to ensure a seamless transition to his
successor."
Graham Sheward said:
"I am delighted to be joining the Company at such an exciting
time. I look forward to working with Graeme and the Board, the
management team and my new colleagues to build on the impressive
Company legacy to ensure a successful and sustainable future."
Gordon Marr said:
"It has been a privilege to work with the Company for more than
three decades and grow with it from General Counsel and Company
Secretary through to ultimately serving as CEO for eight years.
Having overseen the successful grant of a licence in Japan, I
feel comfortable in retiring knowing the business is in good shape
and positioned for growth.
I would like to thank staff in all our locations for their
dedication and hard work. I would also like to thank my fellow
executive and non-executive Board colleagues for their
support."
