Josephine Howe, Managing Associate and Sevyn Kalsi, Senior Associate are described as key members of the team. Sally Edwards, Global Head of Private Clients and Trusts said: “They are building thoroughly-deserved reputations as rising stars in the private client and trusts world.”
Citywealth Future Leaders Awards 2017 is an awards programme to identify and celebrate professionals under the age of 40 in the wealth sector and to shine a spotlight on the young leaders of today and the future.
Individuals can put themselves forward or they can be nominated by their employer. There are 18 different titles, such as Trustee of the Year, divided between five categories of accounting, law, private banking, trust and family office. For each title there will be gold, silver and bronze awards.
Submissions closed in April. Around 100 talented individuals and organisations have been shortlisted and online voting is now open. Voters are not allowed to vote for their own firms or colleagues.
The deadline for voting is 15th October 2017. At this point the judging panel will make their decisions on the winners. The online votes will count as the decision of one judge. Last year 17,500 votes were registered.
The overall winners will be announced at the event dinner on 1st November at a central London location yet to be announced.
The judging panel is made up of professionals in private wealth management: Karen Jones, CEO of Citywealth; Frederick Bjorn, Partner at Payne Hicks Beach Solicitors; Emma Furzer, Senior Trust Officer at Fairway Trust; Jo Hurley, Associate Director at Deloitte; Olivia O’Sullivan, Tax Direct at PWC; Anthony Poulton, Partner at Baker McKenzie; James von Simson, Investment Director at Tilney; Clare Usher-Wilson, Director, Family Office Services at Summit Trust International SA and Kim Webb, Director at Barclays UK Private Bank.
