58 Acquisition International - Issue 10 2018 Mark Corradine (Interim Managing Director), Nick Moss (Director) and Roddy Balfour (Business Development Consultant) at Equiom Guernsey discuss their recent Acquisition International award win for Best International Trust Company. First of all, how did it feel to have been given your award? What do you believe are the reasons behind your success and how have you showcased your win since? MC: It’s always an honour to be recognised in prestigious awards such as these. Over the years, Equiom Group has received more than 40 accolades for being a leader in its field. Equiom Guernsey has helped to contribute to this by continually strengthening our service offering and building on our expertise. In 2017, we acquired Virtus Trust Group in Guernsey. This gave us a stronger presence in the region as well as a competitive advantage thanks to the US trustee licence Virtus hold. Since being named Best International Trust Company, we’ve been delighted by the reaction from our industry peers. It also gives me personally a great sense of pride to be an international business with firm roots right here in Guernsey. 2. How do you believe industry awards help firms such as yours to thrive and prosper?
