British Professionals could be forgiven for thinking that their career prospects are at for the moment a little shaky given the constant stream of depressing news regarding the global economy.   

However, according to recruitment specialists Wemploy Recruitment, those with financial services, insurance and legal experience should be looking overseas, towards The Rock of Gibraltar for their next career opportunity. 

“Many of the vacancies in Gibraltar are in the investment, asset and wealth management centric” says Killian Glendon the owner of  Gibraltar based Wemploy Recruitment..

“The insurance sector is strong – Bermuda based insurance giant Argus Insurance for example have just purchased new premises in a new development in Gibraltar which demonstrates their long term commitment to Gibraltar and the future of its financial services industry.”

“Most of Gibraltar’s banks tend to fall into the Retail or Private Banking sector and  although subsidiaries of the world’s big players, have been relatively free of the sub-prime mortgage pressures” adds Glendon

Given Gibraltar’s close proximity to the Costa del Sol and a beneficial tax system and not least it’s almost constant sunshine; it may just be the perfect location for an individuals next career move – especially in these uncertain times.
