Two decades of independent growth, strong client relationships and trusted corporate and fiduciary support

DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN — July 2, 2026

Acclaim celebrates 20 years in business this year. The milestone marks two decades of steady growth, strong relationships and a culture that has stayed true to itself.

Two Decades of Growth

Brian Byers founded Acclaim in 2006. Today, it operates as an independently owned Trust and Corporate Service Provider in the Isle of Man.

Acclaim supports private clients, family offices, entrepreneurs and international businesses. Its services include company, trust and foundation services, as well as administration, accounting and ongoing support.

Over the past 20 years, Acclaim has refined its core services in line with client needs. These include company formation, corporate administration, trusts, foundations, bookkeeping, reporting and operational support.

Alongside this, the business has broadened its offering into specialist areas. These include eGaming support and practical AI training through Acclaim Insights.

The last eight years have marked an important chapter in Acclaim’s journey. During this time, the business has invested in people and capability. This has helped build a stronger team and a solid foundation for long-term growth.

Staying True to Its Culture

Throughout that growth, one thing has remained the same. Acclaim has always put people at the centre of the business.

That means long-term client relationships. It also means a team culture shaped by support and trust.

The business encourages people to develop, contribute and be themselves. This people-first mindset shapes how Acclaim works every day.

The team remains professional but approachable. It also stays ambitious but grounded. Above all, Acclaim keeps moving forward without losing the personal side of what it does.

Over time, that balance has become a defining part of Acclaim’s identity. As the business embraces new ideas, including AI and automation, it continues to value the human side of client service and team culture.

Marking the Milestone

As Acclaim marks its 20th anniversary, the milestone represents more than business growth. It also celebrates the people behind it.

That includes long-standing team members, the next generation coming through, loyal clients and the wider community that has been part of the journey.

Reflecting on the milestone, Founder and CEO Brian Byers said:

“Twenty years ago, Acclaim was built on a simple idea: that good business starts with good people. As we celebrate this milestone, we are incredibly proud of how far we have come, but even more proud that we have never lost the culture, values and sense of family that got us here. Our growth has always been about people, our team, our clients and our community, and that will continue to guide us into the future.”

The Team Behind Acclaim

The wider team continues to value that same culture as the business grows.

“When I joined Acclaim as an office junior, I did not even have a desk of my own. Looking back, that feels fitting because the best businesses are built by people who show up, solve problems and keep moving forward. What makes me most proud today is not just how much we have grown, but the team we have built and the trust our clients continue to place in us.

“The best businesses aren’t built from perfect conditions. They’re built by people who show up, solve problems, and keep moving forward”.”

— Irena Hill, Finance Director at Acclaim

The leadership team also feels proud of how Acclaim has grown while staying true to itself.

“We’ve come a long way, but what matters most is that we still feel like the same business at heart. That’s what makes me excited for the future, because we’ve built something strong without losing the people side of it.”

— Sandra Georgeson, Managing Director at Acclaim

Long-Term Client Relationships

Long-standing clients also value Acclaim’s consistency and client-focused support.

“Huge congratulations to Acclaim on reaching 20 years. We have enjoyed a long and successful relationship with the team and have always found them to be professional, responsive and highly dependable. More importantly, they take the time to understand our business, which ensures that they are able to offer support tailored to our needs. We greatly value their support and look forward to continuing our successful relationship for many years to come.”

— Gulf Oil International Ltd.

Looking Ahead

As the business looks ahead, Acclaim remains focused on growing in the same way it always has.

The team will continue to stay close to its clients. It will also keep evolving with their needs and ambitions. In doing so, Acclaim will continue to deliver support that feels personal, progressive and aligned with where clients are heading.
