Standard Bank Offshore, which has offices in Jersey, the Isle of Man and Mauritius, has moved Sue Collins up to director as an element of its growth strategy for the private clients division.

Head of high net worth clients at Standard Bank Adam Hunt said: “We are currently recruiting more senior relationship managers to look after our growing portfolio of clients in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. We remain committed to developing the skills and careers of each existing staff member as we recognise that our success is dependent on the dedication and professionalism of our staff.”

The private clients team focuses on international high net worth individuals in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, which are all core markets for the Standard Bank group. The bank works with its local private banking businesses to offer clients wealth management services that include discretionary investments, fiduciary services, banking and investment advisory.

Collins, who will be based in Jersey, joined Standard Bank in 2004.
