WELCOME FROM DAVID BELL
Welcome to our third edition of the PCD Club Digital Magazine. Since our last publication, we have been out to Hong Kong to launch in Asia with 100 guests at the Mandarin Oriental. Click here to look at our gallery for images and a list of attendees, which comprised of guests from London, the Channel Islands, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. May is set to be a busy month for PCD with dinner events in Dublin (from where I am writing), Glasgow and Guernsey. We also have a launch event for PCD Ladies in Jersey and a breakfast panel in London on disputes for HNW families. We would like to hear from members interested in contributing to this publication on areas in which they have expertise. We are trying to help members share news and topical trends to stay current and spot opportunities to grow their business and best serve their clients.
