Company announces name change as it celebrates 25 years in business
The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company and its divisions of The Naples Trust Company and Tampa Bay Trust Company has rebranded all seven of its offices under one name – Florida Trust Wealth Management. The company makes the announcement as it celebrates 25 years in business this coming season.
In 2001, S. Albert D. Hanser, founder and chairman, started the trust company from a one-room office on Sanibel Island, which today has grown to more than $5 billion of assets under management and locations throughout Southwest Florida and Tampa Bay. The name change reflects the company’s stability and commitment to all of the communities it serves, and its strategic preparation for a long future of growth in Florida.
“Achieving this financial milestone in less than 25 years speaks to the talent and hard work of our dedicated team members, and the confidence our clients have in this company.” Hanser said. “Our new name of Florida Trust Wealth Management unifies our market areas and clarifies our identity among all the gulf coast communities as we continue to expand where we are needed most.”
Florida Trust has enhanced its physical presence in Florida. Over just the last few years, increasing client demand has required each existing office to undergo renovation for expansion, or secure a new location, such as the new 10,000 square foot office in Fort Myers that opened last year. Today, the company has offices in Sanibel-Captiva, Fort Myers, Naples, Marco Island, Tampa, Belleair Bluffs, Tarpon Springs and a marketing office in Cashiers, North Carolina.
“Our growth became a challenge with our geographic specific names,” said Terence M. Igo, Chief Executive Officer. “The strategy served us very well for many years, but it was time for a change, and we are thrilled.” He went on to say, “We are staying true to our culture. Nothing is changing, just our name.”
The community will immediately begin to notice branding updates to the company’s website and advertising, and this fall, to the signs on their locations. As Florida Trust, the company is embracing its next chapter with the same values that built its success over the past 25 years, and with a clear focus on the future of wealth management in Florida. www.floridatrust.com
