Our People

David Wood, Accounts Manager

David moved to Gibraltar in 1989 with his Gibraltarian wife, who had spent 33 years in England and wanted to return home. In the UK, he had experience of accounts work in various companies, most notably the better part of 20 years with the Post Office.

Since moving to Gibraltar he has worked as an accounts manager for a number of local companies in the trust and company management field and consequently brings with him a wealth of experience and practical knowledge. As an "honorary Gibraltarian" by marriage for forty years, he has a strong affinity with local custom and tradition.

John D Britton, FCA

After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG in 1976, and spending four years post-qualification with them, he was a founding partner in a firm of Chartered Accountants until 1987 when he sold his interest to move into financial/IT consultancy. He was appointed partnership secretary in 1989 to a major firm of Birmingham solicitors, which had a branch office in Gibraltar.

His links with this office, which incorporated a Trust and Company Management business, started then and carried on until 2005 at which time he was then asked by the owners to groom it for sale. In the meantime John had also been group financial director to a large independent company for some 10 years.

In 2007 the Gibraltar company was sold to an AIM listed offshore service provider of which he was a Director until December 2008. John was then appointed a Director of Corinthian Trust Company Limited in January 2010.

His expertise other than in offshore financial services is an appreciation of commercial transactions of an international nature and he enjoys working closely with clients who have challenging financial scenarios and requirements.

Paula arrived in Gibraltar in 1995 and joined Glaisyers Solicitors in 1998. She worked primarily in the Trust and Company division and qualified with distinction as a Trust and Estate Practitioner in 2003.

She worked closely with the senior partner of the business and gained experience in all aspects of client relationships and family estate planning.

T Andrew Dearnaley, LLB, TEP, Commissioner of Oaths

Andrew has always worked in the law and qualified as an LLB. He spent the most part of thirty years specialising in private client work in Derbyshire where he gained his considerable experience in this field.

In 2006 he decided that he needed more of a challenge, and along with his wife, moved to Gibraltar and joined Glaisyers Solicitors. Once there his legal background and client skills soon proved to be invaluable to the business and he has gained a reputation amongst clients as being a calm and solid reference point for their day to day requirements.

Andrew qualified with distinction as a Trust and Estate Practitioner, and is also a Commissioner of Oaths in Gibraltar.

He brings with him, as a Director, the ability to understand most family situations and more importantly the legal implications from an estate point of view.
