Butterfield was also named Trust Company of the Year (Guernsey) in the CityWealth International Financial Centre Awards in January and Trust Company of the Year by the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners in November 2018.

Further on-island success came for law firm Carey Olsen, which was named Guernsey Firm of the Year for the fourth consecutive time. Its recognition was based on detailed industry research and feedback from clients and other legal professions around the world.
