It seems almost impossible that we have arrived at our landmark 20th anniversary and it seems an age ago that we commenced as a small independent management consultancy back in the late 80’s.
Since then we have been truly lucky enough to have been involved with - and carried out - a multitude of projects and assignments and a quick count up tells me that we have operated on behalf of our clients in over 23 countries, raising many hundreds of millions of pounds in the process.
During this period we have contracted with well over 400 clients, opened offices in South East England, Central London, Hong Kong and Shenzhen - China, as well as having opened a number of sister companies and entered into joint venture partnerships with some of the best known specialist finance houses in the Industry.
Along with our parallel companies, we now cater for our client’s needs right the way across the spectrum, from financial and funding requirements through to joint ventures in the Far East. We even have a specialist company that is a registered Lloyds of London brokerage serving the Surety and Trade Finance Risk Market.
We have been joined along the way by some of the cream from the professional marketplace, such as Ian Jenkins - Managing Director of Hoskyn Child Asia, Richard Hill - Managing Director of Magenta Rock and Director on the main board of Hoskyn Child International. All of these fine gentlemen are supported by our excellent administrative team, led by a founder Director who also happens to be my lady wife - Melissa.
Needless to say I am immensely proud of what has been achieved in what seems to have been a “blink of an eye”. We have many close friends, associates and business partners who work with us to develop and grow not only our business, but theirs as well, and there is no doubt in my mind, or in that of my team, that we could not and would not have achieved such success and growth over these years without their talents, hard work and assistance.
Despite our own successes to date, there is no doubt that we are moving into very challenging times over the next few years. Despite this, all of us at Hoskyn Child International and our associated Group companies see a very bright future for both growth and expansion into additional support areas. We will continue to establish new and diverse relationships and have recently announced new funding facilities for businesses and lending organisations ranging from £500,000.00 up to £1billion.
May I take this opportunity to thank both our clients and business associates for their past - and hopefully future - support. We are certainly looking forward to the next 20 years with equal excitement and anticipation.
