Spear’s Review

‘We’re a global bank with a global reach but capable of delivering a local and personalised service,’ says Scott Gillen, a Guernsey-based relationship director at Barclays Private Bank & Wealth Management. ‘In a location like Guernsey where new relationships are vital, being able to have a local face and deliver a local service while leveraging the reach of a global bank is a USP for us.’ 

Gillen is responsible for understanding the complex and diverse requirements of the bank’s international HNW and UHNW clients. He advises on a number of issues including lending activities, offshore banking and the full breadth of investment and depository services. 

He encourages HNWs to look for quality wealth management in a turbulent economic and political landscape. ‘Barclays’ message to clients is that we’ve been a constant. We’ve got a track record of performance and delivering strong returns for clients.’
