First Names Group expansion continues

First Names Group appoints Stuart Pinnington as new Group Managing Director Corporate Services.

A corporate funds lawyer by background, Stuart was most recently Group Holdings Director Head of Funds and Corporate for a well-respected Jersey based firm. Stuart started his career by training and qualifying as an English Solicitor whilst working for LG LLP based in the UK. 

Stuart will work closely with the wider leadership team and will be an active member of the Group’s Management Committee. He will be based in Jersey where he will report to Mark Pesco.

Mark Pesco, First Names Group Chief Executive Officer said “Stuart is both well-known and hugely respected in the industry. He combines great technical expertise with a deep understanding of the industry and a strong client focussed approach, which make him an excellent commercial and cultural fit not only for our business as it stands today but even more so for the newly combined business in the future.  This is an incredible time to be joining this business as I believe that the combined Group will become a significant driving force in the provision of services to ultra-high net worth families, corporates and fund clients. Leveraging Stuart’s expertise and guidance I’m confident that our Corporate services team will play a key role in driving our future success and really look forward to working closely with him to achieve this.”
