Menna Moyse

Menna Moyse recently joined HIGHVERN as a Trainee Fund Administrator following completion of her studies at Les Quennevais School and a degree at Hartpury College.

“On returning to the Island I was working at an international bank but wanted to switch to a more administration focused role to develop my career. I was attracted to the funds industry because of the different structures you deal with, which were interesting. Having interviewed at a couple of places for a funds position I chose HIGHVERN because of the friendly nature of the team and the welcoming atmosphere of the office. HIGHVERN appeared the most focused on developing my career and what they could do to support me, rather than just what I would bring to the role.”

Adam Clift

Adam Clift joined HIGHVERN in 2022 following a move to the Island from the UK. He had worked in the aerospace industry after completion of his GCSEs and was welcomed at HIGHVERN as a Trust Administrator.

“I always knew I wanted to do an office job and was interested in trust administration because of the relationships you can build with clients and how every day would be different. Of all the interviews I had HIGHVERN took the longest time to explain the ways in which they would invest in me and my future. I’m pleased to say this all proved to be true and I’m enjoying learning more and working my way up the ladder.”
