Highworth is an international network of fiduciary and professional firms that was formed to deliver holistic, global and multi-country services. The advantages of being part of the global network are far-reaching:
Maintain Independence:
Member firms are able to retain their independence and niche offerings yet compete at a higher level and also provide a global offering to their client base.
Receive Referrals:
One of the core advantages of membership is the ability to be introduced to clients by other members and vice versa. Member firms can also equip each other with expertise in different jurisdictions. For smaller to mid-sized firms, the advantages of being part of a large network can also mean the opportunity to manage larger scale projects.
Network:
Being part of a network allows for a variety of networking opportunities that not only increases new business potential, but also helps firms have a wider knowledge base across a variety of related services. Members are also granted access to a member intranet whereby they can communicate in groups or on a one-on-one basis. Various value added resources are also hosted on the intranet.
Brand Exposure:
As a member of Highworth your firm will also receive international marketing support in the form of a listing in the Highworth directory and presence on the Highworth website. Highworth as a brand will also implement numerous marketing activities to elevate awareness around the network and its member firms.
