Jersey's Hawksford has expanded its management board with the director appointments of Steve Carr, Daniel Hainsworth, Claire Keeney and Matthew Wilkinson.

Hawksford, the Jersey-based corporate, private client and funds business, has made four promotions to director roles as part of its drive to boost business growth and expand its global footprint.

Private client specialist Steve Carr, who joined Hawksford in 2000, will now be responsible for developing new products and services, growing the business in new jurisdictions and expanding the private client team. He works with clients across a range of industries including retail, entrepreneurial, sporting and entertainment.

Daniel Hainsworth helped build up Hawksford’s Middle East business and has 15 years’ experience in the corporate and wealth structuring industry. As director, he will drive the company’s corporate business, through both organic growth and acquisitions.

Claire Keeney, who joined Hawksford early last year, will be responsible for the continued growth of the funds business in her new role as director. As an offshore funds practitioner, she manages a range of structures for an international client base.

Lastly, business enablement director Matthew Wilkinson, who joined the company in 2009 as head of IT, will take on responsibility for growing Hawksford’s international technology offering. He will also implement a centralised, business-focused function. Wilkinson has overseen the project management of a number of the company's acquisitions.

Hawksford currently operates from Jersey, British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.
