SMP completes Helm Trust acquisition

SMP Partners has completed its purchase of a Jersey-based corporate services provider.

The firm secured the acquisition of the Helm Trust Company this week after it was approved by the Jersey Financial Services Commission.

Helm will now trade under the name of SMP Helm Trust Company, and its Managing Director Lewis Buckley is calling the move an 'incredibly exciting time for staff and clients'.

The new deal is part of a staged integration process which will see SMP's existing Jersey office merge with the newly acquired business.
