Meet some of our team
Andy Carré - Client Director
As a Client Director my role at Ipes involves managing a team of Accountants and Administrators and dealing directly with our clients ensuring they receive the best service possible.
I joined Ipes in 2004 as a Senior Administrator following an 18 year career in Private Banking. I was attracted to the company and to Fund Administration because it gave me variety in my daily work and provided me with a new challenge in my career.
When I first started in my role as a Senior Administrator I undertook a number of administrative tasks which gave me a good grounding in funds and was key to helping me climb the Ipes career ladder.
Since then I have been promoted four times and this is testament to the fact Ipes believes in promoting from within and investing in their staff.
Ipes is a unique employer and stands out amongst its competitors due to the way it operates, each person is a member of a team and that team deals with all aspects of the client’s requirements.
Working for Ipes offers many highlights and to single out one is difficult but to name a few, job satisfaction, keeping my clients happy and achieving things which stretch my capabilities along with having a good work life balance are all important.
Rachel Harding - Senior Administrator
Before I joined Ipes I had worked in both the Trust and Commercial sectors of Guernsey industry. I joined Ipes five years ago after wanting to move back into the finance sector and I am now a Senior Fund Administrator.
My day to day responsibility involves coordinating and controlling work loads in our team and assisting with the day to day work and training of Junior Administrators.
I was pleasantly surprised when I first joined the company to find out how much support it provides for training and development. Since joining Ipes, I have gained my International Diploma in Financial Administration and I’m currently working towards my ICSA Diploma in Offshore Administration. For me, training is invaluable to my career development and means I am constantly learning new things.
Ipes fosters a team ethos and many of my colleagues have now become very good friends and I enjoy working with them.
The best part of my job is interacting with our clients and exceeding their expectations. Accuracy and timeliness are two really important attributes of an Administrator’s role and part of my job is to make sure these are adhered to.
I am very lucky to have found a job and a company that suits me so well. I think it is important to find a role in which you feel fulfilled and for me, having the ability to train and improve my skills is fantastic.
