Trey Tucker has been promoted to the position of trust administrator at Conyers Trust Services (Bermuda) Ltd.

The organisation said Mr Tucker’s achievement reflects its commitment to nurturing talent and fostering opportunities for young Bermudians.

It said the Conyers Trust trainee programme is designed to develop local talent by providing practical hands-on experience, mentorship, and invaluable exposure to the intricacies of the trust services sector.

Spanning 12 to 18 months, the training covers learning about various facets of trusts, including trustee duties and obligations, fiduciary and regulatory requirements, policies and procedures, ethics and professional standards, as well as systems and soft skills.

There is a strong emphasis on facilitating career development, enabling trainees to excel in their roles and make meaningful contributions to the firm, Conyers said.

Tina J Laws, head of Trust, said: "The trainee programme equips participants to acquire core trust administrative skills and experience in readiness for a trust administrator role.

“In addition to a number of mentors, our trainees are provided with a designated coach who is responsible for providing mentorship support, assisting with the progress of the programme, offering guidance on prioritising workload, and acts as a partner alongside the trust managers as the trainee develops through the rotation schedule.”

Mr Tucker said: “The coaching and mentorship within the Conyers Trust programme was insightful; each one brought a unique perspective, expertise, and personality to the table.

“This diversity of thought allowed me to approach different challenges with a multifaceted understanding and to apply my personal problem-solving abilities.”

Mr Tucker encouraged aspiring young Bermudians contemplating a career in corporate or trust services to seize the opportunity.

“The opportunity to be surrounded by an experienced, tenacious team who are invested in your development is one that shouldn’t be taken for granted.

“The tools needed to excel within your respective field will be there; it’s up to you as to how much you achieve based on your application and work ethic."
