Stonehage Fleming supports the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award
The Award will be delivered by Afrika Tikkun reaching 685 disadvantaged young people over three years
Stonehage Fleming (“the Group”), the leading independently owned international multi-family office, is pleased to announce its commitment to provide three years of support to The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (“the Award”). The donations will directly support the work of the President’s Award for Youth Empowerment in South Africa, helping to engage young people in disadvantaged communities. It will be delivered by the Group’s charitable partner and leading non-profit organisation, Afrika Tikkun.
Established in 1956 by HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a global framework which empowers young people to learn and grow through non-formal education and learning, all while working towards internationally recognised accreditation. Operating in more than 130 countries and territories, the Award supports 14-25 year olds to develop transferrable skills, get active, cultivate a sense of adventure and volunteer in their community.
The Award is delivered through a range of national and local partners worldwide, including The President’s Award for Youth Empowerment in South Africa, where almost 4,000 young people are currently taking part, supported by 600 volunteers.
Stonehage Fleming has a longstanding relationship with Afrika Tikkun and together they support disadvantaged youth with education and social development. The Award will be available in all five of Afrika Tikkun’s centres across Gauteng and the Western Cape.
Chris Merry, Group CEO of Stonehage Fleming said: “Our new and extended partnership with Afrika Tikkun will allow more young people to take part in The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. Through our support, the Award will reach further into the most disadvantaged communities in South Africa, filling a gap and giving equal opportunities to develop essential skills and experience.”
“We are delighted to support such a worthy cause and proud to be part of the Award’s global ambition to reach an additional two million young people. We look forward to seeing the young people who take part grow and learn from their experience.”
John May, Secretary General of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation said: “This is an exciting partnership for the Award, the benefits of which will be shared by hundreds of young people in South Africa over the coming three years. Africa is one of the Award’s fastest growing regions, which makes this partnership with Stonehage Fleming and our friends at Afrika Tikkun all the more relevant. Thank you to Stonehage Fleming, for your support and commitment to young people as they discover their infinite potential through the Award.”
Carole Day, UK CEO of Afrika Tikkun UK said: “We are thrilled to now offer the Award at our centres in South Africa, where the most disadvantaged young people of our communities can come together to enhance their education outside of academia. The Award offers young people the chance to learn skills such as resilience, leadership, agency, and problem solving, giving them an opportunity to excel outside of the classroom with like-minded peers. Stonehage Fleming has been long supporters of the work we do, and we are proud to be able to provide the Award with their continued contribution.”

Stonehage Fleming opens gateway office in Miami
Announces appointment of Lowry Brescia as client relationship manager
Today, Stonehage Fleming announces the opening of its new representative office in Florida and the appointment of Lowry Brescia in the position of Client Relationship Manager for the Group in Miami.
The representative office is located in the Brickell Avenue Financial District and is further evidence of Stonehage Fleming’s growing presence in North America. It will serve as a gateway for ultra / high net worth individuals and families in Florida and throughout Latin America to access Stonehage Fleming’s award-winning global network of offices and capabilities. In addition, it will also be a local port of call for professional intermediaries either in, or passing through, the area.
Lowry Brescia’s role as Client Relationship Manager is effective immediately. She will report to Johan van Niekerk, Head of Family Office (US). Lowry joins Stonehage Fleming from Lionheart Capital where she was Vice President of Operations. Prior to this, she spent over a decade at The Cantor Group (formerly Cantor & Webb P.A.), latterly as Director of Client Services & Public Relations. Lowry will work closely with Family Office colleagues across the Group and will focus on developing and managing client relationships, particularly in the Latin American market.
Johan van Niekerk, Head of Family Office (US), said: “We are committed to expanding our capabilities and presence across the United States. We are therefore very pleased to announce the opening of our new representative office in Florida. Miami is the undisputed gateway to reach Latin American clients and we are excited to be able to offer a local presence that meets the needs of clients in this important segment of the market.”
“Lowry’s broad industry experience and contacts gained by working with ultra / high net worth individuals predominantly from Latin America, North America and the Caribbean is hugely valuable as we seek to develop our presence in Florida. Having been based in Florida for two decades and a fluent Spanish speaker, Lowry is firmly embedded in the community and has a clear understanding of the wealth management landscape. I am excited to welcome her on board and look forward to working closely with her in the coming months.”
Lowry Brescia added: “I am thrilled to be supporting Stonehage Fleming’s entry into Florida, and gateway to Latin America with the opening of its representative office in Miami.

Stonehage Fleming partners with Thrive Jersey to support “GROW” initiative
Stonehage Fleming is pleased to announce its partnership with Thrive Jersey to support GROW, a community-led initiative aimed at addressing multiple social issues that drive low mood and disengagement within the Jersey community.
GROW is an inclusive outdoor community project that plants, nurtures and harvests the widest array of fresh produce to be distributed to those on the island who do not have ready access to nutritional food. It provides innovative wellbeing, education and employment opportunities within an outdoor environment, whilst championing issues such as climate change, sustainable transport and community nutritional deficit. Thrive Jersey’s ethos is based on a collaborative approach to resolving community issues and in time aims to be mapped through initiatives including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and GROW aligns to no fewer than eleven of the seventeen goals.
According to the Jersey Statistics Unit approximately 26% of all households and 23% of individuals were in relative low income, including over half of single parent families, one in three working-age adults, one in three children and one in three pensioners1. This has a direct impact on the affordability of fresh fruit and vegetables which in turn leads to poor physical health, obesity and low self-esteem.
Guy Gilson, Partner at Stonehage Fleming said: “We are delighted to support Thrive Jersey’s GROW initiative and its mission to demonstrate how community, parishes and government can join together to implement inspiring and inclusive solutions to social issues. It is a pleasure to support such a worthy cause, and one which resonates so well with Stonehage Fleming’s social capital. We commend Andy on his vision for the welfare of those on the island.”
Andy Le Seelleur, Co-Founder of Thrive Jersey: “Jersey is facing an unprecedented crossroads in social development as a result of a number of internal and external threats including climate change, population growth, physical and mental health, Covid-19, reductions in agricultural green space and nutritional deficits within the lower socio-economic demographic. For many whose mood is low, the priority is more on surviving than thriving. GROW is an innovative project aimed at tackling Jersey’s social issues and we thank Stonehage Fleming for all their support to help influence positive change.”

Stonehage Fleming sign up to Women in Finance Charter
In 2021, we signed up to HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter. We are committed to the principles of the Charter to see gender balance at all levels across financial services firms.
Experience has shown us that we can best serve the interest not only of our existing clients, but also of the next generation and future clients, by drawing on the insights, talents and judgements of a diverse workforce.
Our Commitment:
The Charter is comprised of four pledges. Our targets mapped to each are:
- Our Group Executive Committee endorsed the signature of the Charter, with Chris Merry, Group CEO and Chairman of our Diversity & Inclusion Committee, as the lead sponsor.
- Our internal target for gender diversity is to have 25% women in senior management positions by March 2023 and 35% over a 5 year period.
- Our commitment to improve diversity will include the evaluation of the senior executive team against this objective.
- We commit to publishing our progress annually against these targets on our website.
Our Population:
- 18% of our Senior Management are female and expected to remain so by March 2023.
- 39% of our partners and directors (our two most senior roles) are female. This includes both senior management and those who are not in senior management roles.
- We have a number of initiatives under way to support our goals for women in senior positions including Succession Planning for development of suitably qualified females, and encouraging inclusion by mandating annual D&I training.
- Our recruitment practices include a diversity target of 20% of all candidates interviewed by 31st March 2022 (this goal has been achieved), and 30% by 31 March 2023.
