It’s our independence from institutions that means we can offer the very best in trust and corporate services. And it is our independent spirit that gives us the character our clients and professional intermediaries value so highly. It’s a culture of independence that gives our people the freedom to forge long-term, mutually rewarding client relationships and to grow as professionals and prosper as individuals.
We understand that all of our clients, from single individuals to major corporations, ultimately want the same simple thing: peace of mind. They want to rest easy in the knowledge that structures are being administered by experienced professionals motivated to deliver the highest standards of corporate governance.
We take the time to understand our clients’ individual needs, either working with them directly or through their advisers. And we take pride in our ability to tailor the right solutions, drawing from an extensive, integrated platform of expertise and processes spread across multiple strategic locations.
We’re proud of the service we offer. And we’re proud of the people who make it happen: our First Names.

Ben Newman is Managing Director for our Jersey business. He demonstrates a deep commitment to building community spirit – with First Names at the heart of it. Ben looks at problems through the eyes of his clients; his empathy is obvious and his solutions are sensitive.
Our ability to operate on a global scale through a network of strategically located offices is fundamental to our success. And our presence in – and knowledge of – the regulatory landscape in so many of the world’s key financial jurisdictions means we can respond to the varied and specific needs of our clients, either directly or via their trusted advisers.
Our First Names number more than 600 worldwide, all of them valued for their expertise and skills. We have a clear focus on professional qualifications among employees, with many accountants, lawyers, trust and estate practitioners and chartered secretaries providing the necessary experience.
Most importantly we are committed to all of our First Names, investing in their professional development to ensure they are always equipped to deal with the ever-changing and complex corporate environment.
As an independent firm, we are totally free of the conflicts often associated with institution-owned trust companies. This not only gives us the agility to make decisions quickly but also means we have complete freedom to choose the right banks and investment houses to work with.
We do not provide tax, legal or investment advice, choosing instead to work with third-party professionals. We are happy to work with clients or their advisers directly, or as part of a wider team.
O U R B U S I N E S SFirst Names Group is one of the largest independent providers of trust and corporate services in the world.

We believe what really makes us special is the way we share our expertise and pool our knowledge to ensure our clients draw maximum benefit from the wealth of talent we have at our disposal. Our joined-up approach spans all jurisdictions and is based on a framework of robust processes and knowledge sharing.
In a sense, this sharing of knowledge and best practice mirrors our approach to the relationships we have with our clients and their advisers. Understanding their motivations allows us to deliver the tailored services they need.
And our understanding of each other allows us to combine our skills and experience and draw those services together.
A P L AT F O R M F O R S U C C E S SOf course we’re not alone in having a workforce spread across the world’s key financial jurisdictions – although we’d argue our First Names are a cut above the rest.
