Chairman and Founder, S. Albert D. Hanser, chaired the meeting of shareholders addressing the business of The Trust Company over the last year. He commented on the growth of the company now at 52 employees throughout Sanibel-Captiva Tampa Bay, and Naples with more to come this year.

Hanser said, “Our Mission is ‘to advise and care for our clients and their families by providing individualized wealth management through life’s transitions. We strive to inspire trust, confidence, and a sense of community among those we serve.’”
Hanser singled out retiring board members James Lozelle and Linda Marcelli for their years of service on the board. “Jim and Linda have provided an unvarnished perspective and wise advice from their years in business which have added to the quality of our brand and services, elevating the client experience,” said Hanser.

CEO Terence M. Igo discussed the company’s current strategic plan saying, “We have taken additional space at the main office in Tampa and selected new space in Fort Myers for our growing Lee County team.

Igo emphasized the importance of maintaining the corporate culture which has served the company so well over the years. He said, “Our motto, ‘Always do the right thing’ undergirds our goal of assuring our level of service remains high as we move forward.”
