30 June 2025
We are delighted to share that a member of our Guernsey team has been awarded a prestigious Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) Excellence Award.
Senior Administrator in the Client Services team of Mourant Governance Services in Guernsey, Ellie Norman, achieved the top score globally in her recent Advanced Certificate in Principle of International Tax, AML and Compliance exam.
On passing this final exam in the course, Ellie is now a fully qualified Trust and Estates Practitioner, as recognised by STEP.
STEP is a global professional body, with more than 22,000 members comprising lawyers, accountants, trustees and other practitioners who help families plan for their futures. Its mission is to inspire confidence in families planning their assets across generations by setting and upholding high professional standards, informing public policy, promoting education, and connecting practitioners globally to share knowledge and best practice.
Mourant supported Ellie through funding her STEP qualification, providing her with a week of paid study leave in preparation for each exam, and facilitated access to a comprehensive range of learning resources to assist in her studies.
Caroline Prow, Managing Director of Mourant Governance Services in Guernsey, commented:
"We're all very proud of Ellie on her recognition from this leading industry body. At Mourant, we encourage and support our people in developing their careers and taking full advantage of learning and development opportunities. STEP qualifications are notoriously demanding, so this is a fantastic achievement. Well done, Ellie!"
Ellie added:
"Winning this award validates the focus and dedication I've placed upon my studies and has shown me that I can achieve the top standards as recognised by one of the most highly-regarded professional bodies in our industry.
"I would like to say a huge thank you both to Mourant, who funded and supported my studies, and my fantastic team, especially my line manager and director, who always provided me with reassurance of my capability to succeed."
