Charterhouse Lombard celebrating 30 years of business excellence
The enduring success of this privately owned trust and corporate service provider is born of the company’s unfailing dedication to deliver consistent service excellence to its expanding international client base.
Charterhouse Lombard has achieved this against a background of a global financial landscape marked by ever increasing change and challenge and geopolitical fragility.
The company’s client centric approach brings resilience, confidence, structure and stability to the business, which has seen Charterhouse Lombard grow to a more than 30-strong team at its headquarters in the Isle of Man and establish an office in Dubai, which this year is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Driving the company’s operational excellence are its guiding principles – independence, bespoke service and delivering long-term value – all underpinned by its trusted reputation and longstanding, often multigenerational, client relationships across multiple jurisdictions. Whether private clients, family offices, trusts or corporate entities, they all value Charterhouse Lombard’s dedication to listening then responding to their needs with bespoke solutions, integrity, discretion, attention to detail and consummate professionalism. The value of independence and empowered people Independence lies at the heart of Charterhouse Lombard. It is what has defined the company from its inception and what today makes the company stand apart from its rivals in a fiercely competitive market. And with independence comes empowerment to act solely in clients’ best interests, free from the barriers of external agendas or commercial pressures. Independence also brings empowerment to its people – a professional, highly motivated team of long-tenured staff, that benefits from a flat reporting structure and the ability to respond swiftly and decisively.
Charterhouse Lombard’s commitment to its clients and its people is matched by its commitment to and support of the local community. This is integral to its culture. In the Isle of Man, for example, it was one of the sponsors of the KMPG Prom Relay in support of Manx Breast Cancer Support Group in July. The company is also a long-standing supporter of Ramsey Youth Centre and Old Boys, and has sponsored the players’ sports kit for many years.
“30 years ago it was our mission to form a company that would be distinguished by its independence and integrity – a business that would have the client at the very heart of all that it did. I am enormously proud that, three decades on, Charterhouse Lombard is staying true to its roots and values, and we will always remain privately owned and privately funded.’
David Dean, Director and founder
‘I share David’s pride in the milestone that Charterhouse Lombard has achieved. Our commitment to operational excellence and bringing our core values to life remains undimmed. Despite the challenges of an increasingly competitive business landscape Charterhouse Lombard has always stayed true to its founding principles. Equally, though, we have been swift to embrace change, harness innovation, develop and expand our portfolio of services and, importantly, to be sensitive and add value to clients’ aspirations and goals. Our strategy is clear. We are pledged to maintain our business momentum and our drive for measured growth. We believe this to be not only a firm foundation on which to build the business but also genuine cause for celebration in this, our 30th anniversary year.’
Jessica Coutts, Group chief executive officer
