The company also received the overall Global Winner award for Excellence in Advisory Best Practice, alongside regional wins for the Middle East and US.
These achievements reflect the values at the heart of Blacktower: putting clients first, maintaining high professional standards and supporting colleagues and partners.
In Portugal, Manuela Robinson has played a key role in bringing those values to life. Her leadership and commitment to clients and colleagues have been central to the Portugal team’s contribution to Blacktower’s European success. Together, they support individuals and families navigating retirement, relocation and the complexities of managing finances across borders.
A particularly proud moment was the presentation of the II Special Award for Outstanding Industry Achievement to Blacktower founder John Westwood, recognising his longstanding contribution to international financial services.
Having called the Algarve home for 20 years, John has a deep personal connection to the region. His recognition holds special significance for the Portugal team and the clients who have been part of Blacktower’s journey.
The awards are a celebration of the people behind the business and an opportunity to thank clients for their continued trust and support.
