Maples strengthens with London office opening

Maples Fiduciary, a division of Maples Fund Services, and has opened an office in London, with an eye on expanding in the region.

Maples Fiduciary’s London office will focus on providing corporate and fiduciary services to UK companies, limited liability partnerships and structured finance vehicles as well as providing UK facilities agent services to Irish and Luxembourg UCITS.

The opening of Maples Fiduciary in London adds to Maples group’s current presence in the region.
In addition, Maples Fiduciary’s full suite of corporate and fiduciary services will be streamlined for clients already working with Maples in other jurisdictions.

“With most of the top financial institutions to whom the Maples group provides services having a substantial presence in the region, the opening of a Maples Fiduciary office in London is a natural fit and enables us to further assist existing and prospective clients,” said Peter Huber, MaplesFS’ global head of fiduciary.

As part of the office opening Maples Fiduciary has appointed Sam Ellis as senior vice president as well as a number of other hires including Tina Jehan, who joined earlier this year, as vice president as well as Charles Leahy and Michael Drew who have also been appointed as vice presidents.

“Maples Fiduciary’s physical presence in London builds on the Maples group’s established reputation in the region and further supports the delivery of a client focused and service driven solution to this dynamic market,” said Scott Somerville, MaplesFS’ chief executive officer.
