This ownership structure allows the firm to operate in a nimble and entrepreneurial fashion. For many clients, these are important considerations in an industry which has seen increasing consolidation in recent times. Gavin outlines how every member of staff at Minerva works to ensure the very highest level of service for clients and how this ensures the success of everyone involved. “At Minerva we are a very experienced and committed team and we understand the importance of getting the detail right first time, on time and within budget. Fundamentally it is this dedication to excellence that clients really value from their service provider. In an increasingly complex global regulatory and fiscal environment, meeting these objectives requires technical excellence in addition to service excellence.” In his concluding comments Gavin expresses his excitement for the future as he discusses the firm’s ongoing dedication to client satisfaction. “Ultimately Minerva have been supporting global families and businesses for over 35 years and we are excited about our future, which will revolve around continuing to help our clients achieve their varied goals and objectives and sharing in their success.” “...we are a very experienced and committed team and we understand the importance of getting the detail right first time , on time and within budget.”
