In her role as Country Head, Jersey at Apex Group, Alice will report to James Burke, Regional Head of Northern Europe and Channel Islands and be responsible for providing leadership to the Jersey team, implementing and embedding the Group operational framework, and maximising growth and financial performance.

She previously held roles as Director of Corporate Services, Jersey and Managing Director, Dubai with Intertrust, with global experience working within Group Company Secretarial departments of FTSE 100 companies.

Apex Group’s Jersey presence has grown in recent months to employ 400 people, following the successful acquisition and integration of Sanne Group.

Over half of the women who participated in the 2022 Women’s Accelerator Program have secured job role progression or promotion since completing the program.

Alice Read, Country Head, Jersey at Apex Group comments: “Jersey continues to be a strategically important international financial hub for both Apex Group, and for our clients. Following our recent expansion in Jersey through the addition of Sanne, and with the growth trajectory of the funds and corporates registered in Jersey set to continue in defiance the challenging macroeconomic environment, now is an exciting time for Apex Group in Jersey.”
