Core values

Forward for a Reason

When Forward was created, we picked the name for a reason. Those reasons are enshrined in our values, and those values are at the heart of what we do, why we do what we do, and how we do what we do.

Deliver wow with all that we do

Impress our clients and look to exceed customer expectation.

Be open to new ideas

Embrace the differences between us that make us all unique. We are forward thinking.

Embrace change for the better

Even if it presents short-term challenges - we move forward.

Work tirelessly for our clients' best interests

We go above and beyond to ensure total customer satisfaction.

Be creative, open minded and adventurous

Even if sometimes it takes a little weirdness.

Improve our skillset, embrace learning

We are always developing our team into the best they can be. We leap forward.

Do more with less

Work with what we have, be innovative, and come up with unique solutions. We are forward looking.

Build relationships based on openness and honesty

Trust begins with clear and honest communication.

Be progressive, never stand still

We are always evolving. We put our best foot forward.

Why Forward? It's all about Trust

"We focus on what we believe are the important factors for our clients, such as the quality of staff and their long term retention, so that clients and staff will build trust and understand each other. We don't see how a Trust company can be run any other way. No client of Forward is ever just a voice in the crowd."

Community Involvement

Community Support, Built Into Our Values

We're proud to support our local community through a variety of projects, charities, and partnerships, which is highlighted and embedded within our core values. Our team plays a key role in helping decide which projects we support. Over the years, we've supported wildlife and animal welfare in Jersey by backing local organisations like the Jersey Hedgehog Preservation Group and Finni's Ark Animal Sanctuary. We also support both local and national charities through donations and by getting involved in events throughout the year.

Work with purpose.
