Rudyard Kipling
Multi-cultural, multi-lingual, dedicated, diverse and experienced.
Andrew and William, long-time friends and business partners, were Joint Managing Directors of a Mauritian Trust Management Company. During their six-year tenure, it grew to be a formidable and well-respected brand, both on the island and internationally, with a staff complement of forty-five and over five hundred structures under management. In 2021 they resigned due to a sale to a Private Equity consortium. The overriding focus of the new owners was EBITDA, multiple increases of client fees and a dramatic drop in service standards.
In 2022 William and Andrew were approached by the owner of LC Abelheim to partner with him in the 15-year-old company. They both operate as joint Executive Directors of this well-established business. Due to the intimate relationship that they have forged with their private clients over +25 years, this partnership allows them to continue their counsel as Trustee and Director with existing clients, as well as the new clients attained through the partnership.
