Fairbairn Private Bank wins two star status
4 February 2008
FAIRBAIRN PRIVATE BANK - STAR
PERFORMER!
Fairbairn Private Bank has achieved
‘outstanding’ status in the UK’s Best Companies business
accreditation system. This is the third year running that
Fairbairn Private Bank has been awarded ‘Star Status’ in this
system, which recognises corporate excellence in the
workplace. The accolade takes the format of a Michelin style
star system with company performance awarded one star for first
class, two stars for outstanding and three stars for
extraordinary.
With offices in the Isle of Man and Jersey,
Fairbairn Private Bank became one of only 117 companies across the
entire UK to receive this accolade.
The accreditation system is based on eight
main factors; the company; leadership; wellbeing; personal growth;
fair dealing; employees’ feelings towards their managers;
employees’ feelings towards their teams; and what the company gives
back to society. The accreditation accumulates the scores
from 16 key questions, which incorporate those eight main
factors. Each organisation is then ranked based on all eight
of these workplace factors. The judges highlighted that the
bank scored extremely high marks in leadership, wellbeing and
giving back to society by being ethically driven.
Greg Horton, Fairbairn Private Bank’s
managing director, commented:
“This is a fabulous achievement that serves
to underline our commitment to our employees, and further
illustrates the high levels of satisfaction they have with their
working environment. We strive to maintain a high quality of
life for our workforce and I stand in awe at the loyalty,
commitment and levels of excellence that our team provide to our
continually growing business.”
Fairbairn Private Bank is the first and only
British offshore island financial services company to receive this
prestigious accreditation. The bank shares its two star
rating with other distinguished UK based companies, such as,
Camelot Group, Deloitte, Morgan Stanley and
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
This latest accolade follows a long list of
awards for the bank. With thirteen outright wins and thirteen
highly commended awards in the past seven years at the
International Investment International Fund and Product awards,
Fairbairn Private Bank has amassed more awards than any other
offshore bank at this prominent financial services industry
event.
