Altair makes Guernsey Director appointment

Wednesday 09 January 2019

Channel Islands independent director services business Altair has strengthened its pan-island team with the double appointment of Hubert Nicolle in the Guernsey office and Jon Trigg in Jersey.

The firm said Mr Nicolle's appointment further strengthens Altair’s independent director team in Guernsey. As well as continuing to build a portfolio of non-executive directorships primarily on regulated fund boards, he will bring operational expertise in support of the firm’s growth plans.

With a career in financial services spanning more than 16 years and with specialist experience in the funds and fiduciary sectors, primarily private equity and real estate, Mr Nicolle joins Altair from Belasko Administration where he was Operations Director with additional responsibility for the company’s regulated fund service offering.

Michel Davy, Head of Altair’s Guernsey office, said: “As Altair continues to evolve as a business, I’m pleased to welcome Hubert to our team in Guernsey as we build a strong platform for future growth. His previous experience and understanding of the complexities of the regulatory, corporate governance and risk management landscape add considerably to the range of expertise we can offer at a time when such expertise is in such high demand.”

Commenting on his appointment, Mr Trigg in Jersey said: “Organisations, particularly in the Channel Islands are increasingly acknowledging the importance of good governance and board effectiveness in the funds sector, and being able to draw on first-class professional independent director services is absolutely vital in being able to achieve that. With this in mind, I am delighted to be able to join at a time when we see considerable growth opportunities for Altair.

"They are an organisation that are admired by the offshore funds industry and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with the team.”

Founded in 2012, Altair is regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission and the Jersey Financial Services Commission and provides highly qualified independent directors and consultancy services to companies across the Channel Islands.
