Aidan Davin has been promoted to the new role of chief operating officer [COO] for Equiom’s crown dependency offices in the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.

Mr Davin has been with the international professional services provider since 2005.

For the last three years he served as managing director of Equiom [Isle of Man] Limited where he led a team of professionals spanning trustee services, yachting and aviation functions. He steered the business through a period of success leading to accolades including IFC Trust Company of the Year [Isle of Man] for two of his three years at the helm.

Aidan is now responsible for the leadership of all Equiom businesses across the three islands and he will bring with him knowledge of the Equiom approach to client service and employee engagement as the group looks to further expand its operations in these locations.

Meanwhile Nina Johnston has been promoted to managing director of Equiom Isle of Man after taking on the role in an interim basis in July.

Nina joined Equiom in 2005 as a team leader in the client services division before progressing to senior manager in 2010. She developed a portfolio of clients with a focus on the real estate sector.

She was invited to join the board of Equiom [Isle of Man] Limited as client services director in 2013 taking responsibility for five administration teams spanning the company’s corporate, real estate and ebusiness service lines while also playing a lead role in Equiom’s business development strategy in the Middle East.

Global chief executive Sheila Dean said: ’The new role of chief operating officer for the Crown Dependencies is key to our continued growth journey. As we evolve as a business and acquire new expertise in each of our jurisdictions, the focus remains on maintaining a strong offshore presence. With Aidan’s demonstrated ability to boost business and staff performance and Nina’s commitment to the continued growth of the Isle of Man business, I look forward to a bright future for Equiom in these three jurisdictions.’
