Titan Wealth’s compliance team was named Compliance Team of the Year – Wealth Management and senior compliance administrator Olivia Thomas won the Rising Star – Wealth Management award at the Jersey Compliance Awards.
The awards, which celebrate the professionals whose judgement, governance, and commitment to financial crime prevention safeguard Jersey’s reputation, coincided with the promotion of Angela De Ste Croix from head of compliance to the group role of Group Head of Financial Crime Prevention.
‘Compliance underpins the trust that Jersey's financial services reputation is built on and I am thrilled that our team’s excellence and commitment has been independently recognised,’ said Kevin Boscher, managing director of Titan Wealth in Jersey.
‘Olivia winning the Rising Star award was certainly the highlight of the evening as it is testament to the investment that Titan Wealth makes in the next generation of leaders. Olivia has consistently demonstrated her knowledge and has a bright future ahead of her. It is also fitting that her recognition as a rising star coincides with Angie’s expertise and experience being recognised with a group role.’
The Jersey Compliance Awards’ judges complimented the team for its culture, particularly during the 2024 acquisition of Ravenscroft by Titan Wealth and then the integration into a global group.
‘The nomination demonstrates understanding that the achievement lies not simply in maintaining compliance, but in maintaining it whilst simultaneously supporting transformational business activity,’ said the judges.
'What distinguishes this nomination is the breadth of evidence. Rather than focusing solely on individual projects, it articulates a team culture organised around collaboration and shared responsibility. Eight members covering six service lines with specialist expertise in regulatory compliance, financial crime prevention, risk management and governance is solid structural capability. The nomination credibly argues that this diversity of expertise, combined with collaborative culture, has enabled the team to navigate complexity.’
The judges highlighted the team’s navigation of acquisition integration, regulatory engagement, and strategic project delivery whilst maintaining business-as-usual compliance.
‘The breadth of evidence including regulatory feedback, project delivery, infrastructure development, talent development, and business partnership all made a compelling case. The specific recognition from regulators carries particular weight. This is the type of team that strengthens the integrity of the financial services industry.’
For Olivia, the judges said the evidence of professional development was compelling.
‘Completion of two ICA Diplomas (Financial Crime and Anti-Money Laundering) within an 18-month tenure is substantial. These are not trivial certifications and they require significant study alongside full-time work. The nomination credibly links this development to applied improvement, noting that Olivia has proactively used her knowledge to strengthen processes and controls. This is the mark of genuine commitment to competence, not simply credential-chasing,’ they said.
‘What particularly impressed the judges is evidence that Olivia's work has been recognised as best practice and adopted at Group level. The interactive Compliance Operational Procedures she developed were good enough to be scaled across Titan Wealth's multiple jurisdictions. This is a meaningful indicator of quality, and peer and management endorsement carries weight. It also suggests Olivia contributes to organisational capability beyond her immediate role.’
