There are 18 promotions in China, 18 in the Hong Kong office, 14 in Singapore, 11 in Jersey and two in London. Five of the promotions will be senior appointments to associate director and director roles.
One of these will be the promotion of Collette Holt to director of the global customer service support (CSS) team. Holt, located in Jersey and already leading the CSS team there, will now expand that remit to cover Singapore and Hong Kong, among others.
Also in Jersey, Abi Cabral will be promoted to associate director of finance. Her duties will include leading the cost management team, leading the global audit process, and streamlining internal cost procedures.
