About Aquitaine
Aquitaine was established in 2008 by Adrian Pickering, Paul Le Poidevin and Nigel Robins. In 2013, Aquitaine merged with Goethe Management, a similar-minded independent trust company led by Steve Ward, firmly establishing its place and reputation in Guernsey’s fiduciary services market.
In July 2021, Aquitaine acquired Federal Trust Company Ltd, a long-established Guernsey trust company, which consolidated Aquitaine’s position in the Guernsey market. Federal shared the same approach as Aquitaine, providing a personalised, practical, and common-sense approach to servicing clients and their professional advisers.
In September 2021, Aquitaine joined forces with Summit Trust to widen its international footprint, broaden its service offering to clients and create more opportunities for its people to develop and grow.
Aquitaine Group Limited is registered in Guernsey and licensed by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. Registered Number: 49134.
