On 23 May, Josh will take on a 100km ultra marathon — a challenge that demands grit, discipline and a strong mindset. But for Josh, this isn’t just about distance; it’s about purpose.

In this Q&A, he shares what inspired him to start running, how he’s prepared for one of his biggest tests yet, and why he’s passionate about raising awareness for youth mental health in Jersey in support of our chosen charity, Youthful Minds.

Why is raising awareness for youth mental health so important to you?

Chloë will have her hair shaved off on 24 April and is encouraging colleagues and contacts to make a donation to support the cause over the coming weeks.

Josh, who only started distance running last year, has set himself the challenge of competing in the London to Brighton Ultra Marathon this May, covering 100km in one single run from the capital to the south coast.

The route begins in London and stretches all the way down to Brighton’s iconic seafront, covering a mix of city streets, country lanes, and the beautiful but demanding trails of the South Downs, finishing at Brighton Beach. It’s expected to take anywhere between 12 and 18 hours to complete, depending on conditions and pacing — a full day of endurance, grit, and focus.

The money raised through the challenge will go to the charity Youthful Minds – Crestbridge FOS’ chosen charity again this year – which works to support young people’s mental health in Jersey, providing guidance, understanding, and safe spaces for those who may be struggling.

Crestbridge Fiduciary was proud to be Innovation Sponsor at the 50th Australian Gala & Innovation Awards hosted by the Australian American Chamber of Commerce (AACC) in San Francisco.

Published this week, the list – produced annually by industry title eprivateclient – celebrates the most prominent figures from across the private client landscape in the UK and Crown Dependencies. Featuring senior practitioners who are driving progress and shaping the future of the sector, inclusion is based on the achievements and contribution of key individuals over the past year.

It is the eighth consecutive time Heather has been featured in the list, reinforcing her reputation as a figure of authority in the sector and underlining her leadership of a team that continues to grow and differentiate itself in supporting the increasingly sophisticated needs of global families.

Heather has over 25 years’ experience supporting the needs of UHNW individuals and families and continues to drive Crestbridge FOS’ business’ strategy, shape the firm’s culture and manage a number of key client relationships.

Commenting on her inclusion in the 2026 Most Influential list, Heather said:

For the fifth consecutive year, Crestbridge Fiduciary is delighted to sponsor the 21st Annual International Estate Planning Institute, hosted by STEP New York.

Now in their second year, the People Awards recognise individuals who consistently demonstrate our core values of integrity, professionalism and agility. With nominations submitted by colleagues across the business, the awards reflect peer recognition of those who go above and beyond in their day-to-day roles.

At Crestbridge Family Office Services (FOS), we invest in programmes that will build practical skills, deepen leadership confidence and deliver lasting value for our people in every stage of their professional and personal growth.

Momentum was created with this in mind. We wanted a leadership programme that moved beyond the conventional, one that genuinely aligned with our ambitions for growth, service excellence and a high-performance culture. Working in close partnership with Royston Guest, a globally recognized business growth strategist, consultant, and author, Momentum was designed specifically for Crestbridge FOS, reflecting the priorities of our business and the aspirations of our people.

Over the course of last year, a group of current and future managers explored themes that define effective modern leadership: commercial mindset, personal brand, meaningful communication, influencing with purpose, and the dynamics of high-performing teams.

Guided by Royston and equipped with a comprehensive leadership toolkit, participants have strengthened their strategic thinking, enhanced their ability to influence and communicate, and gained greater clarity in how they lead.

The programme has already prompted new habits, fresh perspectives and a more intentional approach to leadership across the group.

One of four promotions within the client services team, Charlotte Williamson has been made an Associate Director. With over 15 years’ experience in private client and family office services, she has worked across multiple jurisdictions, administering a wide range of asset classes. Her current focus is on UK commercial and residential real estate, and working with Middle Eastern families.

Tallie Renouf has been promoted to Manager. Working across three large group structures for Middle Eastern family offices, Tallie acts as the primary contact point for family representatives. She was recognised as a NextGen Leader by eprivateclient in 2025.

Siobhán Troy becomes an Assistant Manager. Her role focuses on supporting Middle Eastern clients across a broad range of administrative and client-facing matters. Siobhán recently attained her Islamic Finance Qualification, further strengthening her technical expertise in this area.

Roxana Dumitrache is promoted to Administrator. She completed the Chartered Governance Institute (CGI) IFA Level 4 qualification.

Within the FOS client operations team, Georgiana Lombada also earns promotion to Administrator, having passed her CGI Level 4 Certificate last year.

These promotions recognise the individuals’ achievements and contribution over the past year, and reflect Crestbridge FOS’ ongoing commitment to nurturing talent and supporting professional development.

Extending his congratulations, Steve Le Seelleur, Managing Director, Crestbridge Family Office Services, said: “Delivering the highest possible levels of service demands the industry’s best people. This requires a firm commitment to supporting our team’s professional ambitions, and providing an environment in which colleagues can thrive. We are pleased to announce these latest promotions, which reinforce our growth ambitions as we enter 2026 with confidence and momentum.”

Showcasing ‘best of breed’ in the Channel Islands region, the awards have been designed to recognise outstanding organisations grouped by specialism and geography which the prestigious panel of independent judges deemed to have ‘demonstrated innovation and excellence during the last year’.

Each of these categories is highly contested and is subject to a rigorous process before the ultimate winner is selected by the judges. It is this process that makes WealthBriefing Channel Islands awards so prized amongst winners.

The WealthBriefing Channel Islands Awards are part of a global programme run by WealthBriefing and its sister publications WealthBriefingAsia and Family Wealth Report, encompassing all the world’s major wealth management centers.

Participants around the world recognise that winning awards is particularly important in these challenging times as it provides clients with reassurance in the solidity and sustainability of the winner’s business and operating model.
