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!

Former Chancellor’s comments on French residency spark expat indignation

As an expat financial services specialist, Blacktower is always keen to hear about Britons who are making the decision to live permanently abroad, but one recent news story has left us, like many others, feeling a little perplexed, to say the least.

Permanent expats in France will soon be able to count leading Brexiteer Nigel Lawson amongst their number as the former UK chancellor of the exchequer has applied for his carte de séjour (permanent residency card).

The former Conservative cabinet member and one-time chair of the “Vote Leave” campaign has been branded a hypocrite by many in the British media, as he seeks full resident’s rights while he lives, as he has done so for many years, in his Gascony mansion in south-west France.
