Former Barclays Wealth Director, Tony Pitcher, joins LGL Trustees as Director

Tony Pitcher has joined LGL Trustees in Jersey this month from Barclays Wealth.

Tony qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Price Waterhouse. Soon after qualifying Tony joined the tax division of EY where he became a partner advising mainly on UK taxation of non UK trusts and companies. At EY Tony moved into the trust division where he managed trusts and companies for families with connections to the UK, USA and continental Europe.

Following the acquisition of EY’s trust business by RBC, Tony led a trust team of 40 people before he became the Managing Director with oversight. Tony led the business for more than 3 years before deciding that working with clients and their advisers was his passion. He left the bank to work with clients and their advisers directly , most latterly with Barclays Wealth, where he has been for over 3 years.

Tony is currently the Chair of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) Jersey branch that has around 1,200 members and is the largest STEP branch outside the UK. He is also a past Chair of the Jersey Taxation Society and has worked on a number of consultative bodies relating to Jersey’s finance industry.

Tony joined LGL Trustees in June 2014 to continue his work with ultra high net worth families in an owner managed trust business where the needs of its clients are paramount.
