Rothschild snaps up Credit Suisse banker for trust business

Rothschild, the UK-based private bank, has hired a senior banker from Credit Suisse as managing director for its trust business in Guernsey.

Trevor Kelham joins after 10 years at Credit Suisse Trust in Guernsey, where he was a board member since 1999 and trust management market head at the Swiss firm, covering Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

At Rothschild he will report to the chief executive of Rothschild Trust, David McLellan. He replaces Martin Pollock, who Rothschild announced in May would be leaving the role.

McLellan is a qualified lawyer and was previously director of legal, compliance & risk management for Credit Suisse.

He will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the firm's Guernsey trust business and as well as overall responsibility for operational efficiency and ensuring exceptional client service.

“Guernsey continues to be an important jurisdiction for our business,” said David McLellan. "Trevor’s longstanding experience in business management and development and legal and compliance background, combined with his local and international knowledge and contacts ensure that he is well placed to support the growth of our business here.”

Rothschild Trust has eight offices around the world, used by clients according to their circumstances and preferences.
