First Names Group has acquired independent trust and corporate services provider Nautilus Trust Company, based in Jersey, Hong Kong and London.
Nautilus, founded in 1999 as Beachside Trust Company, rebranded to Nautilus Trust Company in 2000. In 2006 Jason Cowleard became its Chief Executive Officer.
According to First Names, the acquisition will expand the group’s international presence and service offering in Jersey and add to its private client offering in Hong Kong and London.
Once Nautilus is integrated and rebranded, First Names Group will have nearly 800 employees across its 14 offices worldwide.
