Andrew Le Cheminant, Director of Alex Picot Trust, said:
“We congratulate Hannah and Sarah on their appointment to the Board marking the arrival of a new generation of leadership for Alex Picot Trust. They have both shown great commitment to the Company and individually bring the skills and perspective which will be invaluable to us going forward.
“Sarah represents the positive outcome of the ‘home grown’ strategy we have always stood by with her joining us as a trainee school leaver and progressing to Director in just 12 years. Meanwhile, since she joined us in 2016, Hannah has successfully grown our tax services team to deliver an independent tax service line for our clients.”

“Above all else, in adding to the Board at this stage we are ensuring continuity for our clients over the coming years. The new board directors are wholeheartedly committed to retaining the traditional values upon which our business is built and in which our clients take great comfort. Alongside which they are also dedicated to retaining our independence, which continues to be a key differentiator for us.”
