Spotlight On … Cianon Yeo – Receptionist

Blacktower already has a long and successful history in the sector, how will you and your colleagues continue to offer value to clients in the next 20 years and beyond?

There’s a real energy in head office and there are always discussions around new ideas, ventures and people joining the Blacktower family. I love being part of that. I think the most important thing for me is to be flexible in my job – if someone needs help with something urgently, I will jump in to do what I can.

Head office is all about providing support for Blacktower at an international level, so I can often find myself talking to our people in all parts of the world on a daily basis. I am learning more about each head office department every day, so that I can help where required. It’s so true that team work makes the dream work.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself

I am the only born and bred Gibraltarian in the office, I was brought up here and have never lived anywhere else. It’s a lively yet very safe place to live – except for our roads. For anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure of visiting, it’s akin to Ho Chi Minh City – mopeds everywhere vying for position on our crowded roads. Along with the increasing number of electric scooters around now, you take your life in your hands on our roads. Nonetheless, I have just applied for my scooter licence and hope to buy one shortly, but I have been told I drive like a granny, so you have nothing to fear from me!

However, Italy  – the Eurozone’s third largest economy – not only faces political turmoil but enormous economic strife too, and a banking industry on the verge of collapse.

Brexit would prompt need for expat financial advice

BrexitA new report published by the Cabinet Office has found that expat UK pensioners will be in need of sound expat financial advice should Britain choose to leave the EU following June 23rd’s referendum.  The report states that any such Brexit would cause a “decade of uncertainty” for expat UK pensioners, potentially prompting the need for urgent expat wealth management advice.

Under current arrangements UK pensioners living abroad within the EU receive full state pension increases and there are concerns that this would change if Brexit goes ahaed; leaving the UK government needing to renegotiate terms for indexed social security payments for expats living in Europe.
