Management Team

Colin Williamson

Director

Colin was educated in the Isle of Man and upon leaving the education system in 1989, he joined a small company providing trust and company administration services, where he met David, who was working for the same company.

Colin continued to work with small trust and corporate service providers, obtaining the certificate in Isle of Man Offshore Administration, until 1999 when he joined a large trust and corporate provider on the Island. During the next nine years, Colin worked up the ranks of that company, achieving the position of Supervisor in 2004. Also, during his time at this company, Colin qualified with the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, being elected an Associate in June 2006.

Colin’s primary role during this 9 year period was to be responsible for a number of high net worth clients. His portfolio became the most valued and important part of the company’s client base.

In February 2009, he joined Sterling bringing 21 years experience in the offshore financial services environment to his role as Manager. Colin is responsible for overseeing Sterling’s company and trust administration function. In addition, he has the role of Deputy Compliance and Money Laundering Reporting Officer.
