What i love about my job

"I started at Suntera Private Wealth (Guernsey) Limited as a Trust Officer in July 2016, and I was promoted to a Senior Trust Officer within a couple of years. I have also tried my hand at being an Assistant Trust Manager, however, I decided that role was not for me. Suntera were fully supportive of my decision not to continue down the management path. Although I have not taken any exams whilst working at Suntera, Suntera has been fully supportive of my colleagues who have taken professional exams. Should I wish to take any further professional exams, I know that Suntera will fully support me.

Suntera has some fantastic social events, such as summer parties and Christmas parties. In addition to these events, Suntera also puts on quarterly drinks events, which are a great way to meet up and mingle with all the office staff that you don't get to see on a daily basis. Suntera also arranges various staff activities throughout the year, such as pottery painting, candle making, wreath making, a bat talk, stand-up paddle boarding, cinema nights, etc.

Suntera are a fantastic bunch of people to work with, and I wouldn't consider working anywhere else."
