Fairbairn Private Bank is one of the best 100 companies to work for

8 March 2005

ANOTHER FIRST FOR FAIRBAIRN PRIVATE BANK

Fairbairn Private Bank has been voted one of the best small companies to work for, according to this year’s Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For, published this month.

With offices in the Isle of Man and Jersey, Fairbairn Private Bank is the first offshore financial services business to be recognised within this highly prestigious listing. 

Now in its fifth year, The Sunday Times survey aims to identify the best employers in Great Britain, and is based almost exclusively on employee opinion. Entering the listing at number 85, the judges highlighted the fact that the bank was certainly good at balancing the books between home and work, with 76% of staff saying they were happy with their work-life balance - a top 12 ranking in this section.

Greg Horton, Fairbairn Private Bank’s Managing Director, commented: “We are always delighted to be recognised for our achievements, but what makes this award particularly satisfying is that it is predominantly influenced by what our staff say about the business.  We genuinely believe that our greatest asset is our people and it is particularly heart-warming to receive such amazing feedback from our employees.”

This latest accolade follows a long string of firsts for the bank. It was the first British offshore island based bank to launch a unique fully integrated banking and investment service, “Focus”, it was the first British offshore island based bank to hold an independent “A” credit rating from Moody’s, the international credit rating agency, and it has also been voted ‘Best Offshore Bank’ for an unprecedented three years running in the International Investment Offshore Fund and Product Awards.

Fairbairn Private Bank operates a comprehensive private and personal banking operation on behalf of a wide range of clients. These include private individuals, small and large companies, trusts, governments and institutional investors. A full range of banking, investment, trust and corporate services can be accessed through its offices in the Isle of Man, Jersey and its representative office in South Africa.
