I am pleased to expand our long-established team and welcome Mike, Vicky and Conor to these newly created positions. This year we celebrate 25 years of pension provision, and it seems poignant that we welcome Conor, son of our founder, to the fold at this significant milestone. I know he is incredibly proud of Gary’s achievements and keen to play a part in the next stage of Boal & Co’s journey.
With responsibility for a large percentage of the Isle of Man’s pension assets, we are a key provider locally and have a significant share in the international pensions market providing services to a large number of FT500 global companies and with more than £9bn assets under management. The potential for growth both globally and locally in the medium to long term is significant and we continue to invest in our team and infrastructure to allow for our expansion plans.
Karen Kelly, General Manager, added:
We have a great culture at Boal & Co and our new team members have slotted in seamlessly. While we are excited about opportunities for growth and expansion, our priority will always be our staff and culture which will in turn reflect the service delivered to clients. This is an exciting time for the company with significant internal investment ensuring that we remain to be an employer of choice locally.
