Global service provider Hawksford has achieved top tier status as a global trust company once again, in the latest rankings to be published by specialist private wealth publication eprivateclient.
The ‘2026 Top Trust Companies’ list was published last week (12 October) and includes Hawksford as a Tier I trust company. It is the sixth consecutive year Hawksford has been named in the top tier of the publisher’s rankings.
Based on an analysis of the achievements of trust companies around the world, incorporating financial performance, team growth, service quality and capability, the 2026 rankings feature a total of 58 firms, split across two categories of ‘owner-managed’ and ‘non-owner managed’ businesses.
The inclusion reflects another highly positive year for the firm’s Private Client Services division, during which it has continued to extend its footprint across core markets, enhance its offering to support private clients and families around the world, and strengthen its team.

Darren Kelland, Head of Private Client Services at Hawksford, said:
“Featuring as a top trust company in eprivateclient’s list for the sixth consecutive year is very pleasing. This reflects the expertise of our global team, our shared focus on service quality, and our ongoing commitment to enhancing our proposition – all against the backdrop of an ambitious global growth strategy across the Group. The landscape for private clients and wealthy families has never been more complex, and as a team we remain focused on maintaining this momentum.”
