STEP Isle of Man has celebrated another strong year of professional achievement, recognising students, new members and top performers at its annual Student Awards Evening.
The event, held at Noa Bakehouse and sponsored by Canaccord Wealth, highlighted the island’s growing strength in trust and fiduciary education.
Across 2025, students achieved 52 examination passes across 11 papers, with 41 individuals completing qualifications delivered through STEP’s global education partner, CLTi.
Subjects ranged from Company Law and International Taxation to AML, Compliance and Trust Management, part of a programme undertaken by more than 22,000 professionals worldwide.
Awards
Certificates were presented to every successful student, with commemorative glass awards going to those who achieved the highest local marks in each subject.
Among the standout performers were Aloysius Magerman‑James, Christopher Kmeem, Danielle Stauf, Emilia Stringer, Jennifer Quayle, Rebecca Bannister, Sarah Price, and Tamsyn Hope, alongside joint AML top scorers Andrew Brown and Dawn Bremner.
Six students, Leigh Taylor, Amy Sellors, Max Ingrassia, Jennifer Quayle, Amber Purnell and Rebecca Bannister, completed four Advanced Certificates to earn the STEP Diploma, with Bannister also receiving the award for the highest overall Diploma mark.
The evening further recognised new full STEP members, with Laura Parker TEP, Jennifer Quayle TEP, Leigh Taylor TEP, Amy Sellors TEP and Rebecca Bannister TEP formally welcomed and presented with personalised fountain pens.
STEP Isle of Man Chair Adam Beighton TEP praised the commitment shown by students balancing demanding careers with intensive study, while STEP Global Director Joel Waterhouse highlighted the island’s role in developing talent recognised across more than 100 jurisdictions.
