November 3rd 2014: Heritage Group has continued the expansion of its business with the hire of eight new employees in its Belfast office. The hires bring the total number of permanent staff on its Northern Ireland team to 18.

In the last month, Heritage has added new staff across all areas of the company, notably Sonja Woods as Head of UK Company Secretarial, Christine Magill and William Baxter as Senior Fund Accountants, Chris Burns as Fund Administrator and Antoinette Morrow as Office Administrator. Three local graduates were also employed across accountancy and marketing disciplines as part of this latest recruitment drive, demonstrating Heritage’s commitment to nurturing and training young talent.

“This latest recruitment drive represents the success we’ve enjoyed over the last few months while it also signifies intent for the future. With both staff and assets continuing to grow, we are well on the way to achieving our ambitious targets. We have a clear policy of recruiting and attracting talented and committed people across all areas of the business, which has the effect of attracting more assets to our care and custody.”
