In response to the growth of the business and in order to provide the best possible service to clients, Bedell Trust has made some organisational changes. A key development is the appointment of four new managing directors – each to run one of the company’s business lines. Each will have operational, financial and HR management responsibility for their area of expertise. They are:

International Finance (including SPVs) – Shane Hollywood
Employee Benefits – Grant Barbour
Private Wealth Management – Paul Butel
Fund Administration (including private equity) – Mike Robinson


“These appointments mean each business line can focus on developing strategically according to its marketplace and selecting the jurisdictions most appropriate for clients’ needs”, says Bedell Trust Chief Executive Officer Nick Cawley. “However, to maintain the most effective communication and continue to share expertise for the benefit of our clients, some team members will span more than one business line.”

Key private wealth management appointments

Bedell Trust has appointed a new director for the Private Wealth Management team, Helen Hendy. Vastly experienced in advising high net worth individuals, Helen has been working in private wealth management for more than 20 years.

Janette Gabrielsson has been appointed an associate director. She brings over 15 years’ experience in the formation and management of offshore trusts, companies and other entities. She is also a specialist in marine services and will provide yacht management services to Bedell Trust clients.

Internal promotions and developments

Responding to clients’ growing needs, the company has also promoted three to Trust director level: Paul Anderson (Employee Benefits), Jean Walsh (International Finance) and Trevor Dorman (Client Reporting). Nick Cushion has become an associate director (Private Wealth).

To further enhance service delivery to the expanding client base, Bedell Trust will be installing a new top-range administrative IT system, as well as a separate system dedicated to the Fund Administration business line.
