Rhona Humphreys has been elected as the new Chair of the Guernsey Association of Trustees (GAT).
GAT is the industry representative body for fiduciary licence holders in the bailiwick of Guernsey and represents more than 100 corporate and individual members.
Membership predominantly consists of trust and company service providers but extends to lawyers, accountants, compliance professionals and other individuals with an interest in the fiduciary industry.
Rhona brings with her 25 years’ experience in the Guernsey fiduciary sector. Holding the dual role of Operations Director and Compliance Director at Imperium Trust Company in Guernsey, Rhona joined the committee of GAT in 2010 and previously served as both Deputy Chair and Secretary.
Rhona has taken over as Chair from Paul Hodgson, Deputy Group Head of Trust at Butterfield Group and Deputy Chair of the Guernsey International Business Association.
She commented: "The finance industry is ever evolving, but in recent years we have seen an unprecedented increase in regulations and processes affecting the trust sector.
"I plan to continue building on GAT’s work, keeping abreast of challenges faced by our sector and considering what can be done to ensure it remains protected."
