Stonehage Fleming Names New Family Office Head in Jersey

In the ever-evolving landscape of wealth management, Stonehage Fleming has made a strategic move that underscores its commitment to excellence and client service. The appointment of Bev Stewart as the new head of family office in Jersey is a testament to the firm's dedication to providing top-tier family office and fiduciary services to its high-net-worth international clients. Stewart, who brings over two decades of experience in investment banking and private wealth, is poised to lead the firm into a new era of growth and innovation.

Stewart's extensive background in investment banking and private wealth is a significant asset for Stonehage Fleming. Her experience in these fields equips her with a deep understanding of complex wealth requirements, succession planning, and governance issues, which are critical for supporting the firm's high-net-worth international clients. As stated by Stewart, "At Stonehage Fleming we pride ourselves on the wide range of services we able to provide for some of the world’s leading families and wealth creators, and I look forward to continuing Richard’s good work and offering top-tier family office and fiduciary services to our clients." This expertise will enable her to assist clients with their day-to-day challenges, ensuring that the firm continues to deliver high-quality services that meet the evolving needs of its clients.

However, Stewart's new role also presents challenges. One of the main challenges is the need to continue Richard Stride's good work while also bringing her own unique perspective and expertise to the role. As Ian Crosby, chairman of Stonehage Fleming Jersey, noted, "We look forward to Bev’s continued work in her new role as Head of Family Office Jersey, and thank Richard for his years of dedication and commitment. Both are extremely valued members of Stonehage Fleming’s Jersey office." This highlights the importance of ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the firm's high standards of service.

Another challenge is the need to adapt to the changing landscape of the financial industry. Stewart's experience in investment banking and private wealth will be invaluable in helping the firm navigate these changes and continue to provide innovative solutions to its clients. As the firm continues to grow and expand its services, Stewart's expertise will be crucial in ensuring that the firm remains at the forefront of the industry.

In addition to Stewart's appointment, Stonehage Fleming has also bolstered its family office team with the addition of Andrea Sturges as an associate director. Sturges brings 20 years of experience in the fiduciary industry with a focus on the Middle East, further consolidating the team’s expertise in this growing region. This addition aligns with Stonehage Fleming's goal of providing a wide range of services to its clients, as mentioned, "Additionally, to further bolster the Family Office team, Andrea Sturges has recently joined as an associate director. Andrea has 20 years’ experience in the fiduciary industry with a focus on the Middle East, further consolidating the team’s expertise in this growing region for the Group."

The appointment of Bev Stewart as the new head of family office in Jersey is a strategic move that leverages her extensive experience and expertise to enhance client service, ensure continuity, and strengthen the team, all of which align with Stonehage Fleming's strategic goals. As the firm continues to grow and expand its services, Stewart's leadership will be crucial in ensuring that the firm remains at the forefront of the industry and continues to provide top-tier family office and fiduciary services to its high-net-worth international clients.
