Simon Ricketts named in 2023 eprivateclient Channel Islands Next Gen Leaders list

Saffery Trust Manager, Simon Ricketts, has been named in the 2023 eprivateclient Channel Islands Next Gen Leaders list.

Simon was selected as a rising star in industry based on his experience, knowledge, career trajectory and their active involvement in reflecting and promoting the values of the firm.

The list, which was previously the “Channel Islands Top 35 under 35” was reinvented this year to be more inclusive and “reflect changing trends in the modern workplace”. Rather than focusing on age, the list is now reflective of years of service. The cap of 35 men and 35 women listed was also removed.

Simon’s career path, from joining Saffery Trust as a trainee at the age of 34, to his promotion to Manager of the firm’s largest client group, made him an ideal candidate for the list. His nominator said that Simon’s dedication to his role, and proven expertise, has contributed to him meeting the “high threshold of being seen as a respected and trusted advisor by clients”.

Managing Director, Nick Batiste, said:

“Simon is incredibly hard-working, committed and expert in his field. I applaud eprivateclient’s decision to remove the age barrier from their listing, which has enabled an extremely worthy professional to be recognised as a future industry leader.

“Personable, experienced, highly qualified and adaptable, Simon perfectly reflects what leadership should look like and we are proud to support him on his path as a Next Gen Leader.”
