Bob Moore, Executive Vice President and Head of Group Trust at Butterfield said, “I would like to congratulate Tim on his appointment as Managing Director. The Bahamas is a key jurisdiction for Butterfield in the provision of bespoke trust and fiduciary services solutions for our clients, offering progressive legislation, innovative structures and a respected legal and regulatory environment. Tim is well versed in all aspects of Bahamian and international trust legislation, and I am confident that he is the right person to lead our team and continue to build our local and international business from our base in Nassau.”

Mr. Moore added, “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Julien for his many years of service to Butterfield both in Guernsey and The Bahamas.

Thanks to that, we are well positioned for continued growth. We wish Julien the very best of luck in the future.”
