Sovereign Channel Islands promotes new MD and strengthens leadership team

Sovereign Trust (Channel Islands) Limited has appointed Martin-Dale Bradley as its new Managing Director.

Mr Bradley is currently an executive director of Sovereign Pension Services (CI) Limited, STCIL’s sister company based in Guernsey. He joined Sovereign in 2019 as in-house legal counsel and joined the Sovereign Pension’s board in 2022. Having qualified as a lawyer in South Africa, his experience spans both the fiduciary and pension sectors but under his new role his focus will be growing the traditional private client services Sovereign offers to its international network; he will also continue to work alongside the sales teams across the Sovereign Group in promoting Guernsey as a key jurisdiction for wealth planning.

On his appointment, Mr Bradley commented “I am grateful for the opportunity and the trust that the Group and local Board has shown they have in me and whilst I know they are big shoes to fill, I am look forward to getting started. I am excited to continue to grow the business even further.”

Mr Bradley will replace the current MD, Stephen Hare, who has been appointed Group Risk & Compliance Director for the Sovereign Group. Having been with Sovereign for more than 20 years, Mr Hare opened the Sovereign office in Guernsey in 2010 and became its MD 2 years later. Mr Hare commented on handing over the reins – “I am excited to be taking on a new challenge within the Group, in the knowledge that the business is in safe hands with Martin”. Mr Hare will remain as a non-executive director of Sovereign Trust (Channel Islands) Limited.

The changes take effect from 3rd March 2025.
