Leeward, a Cayman Islands–based governance and fiduciary services firm, has launched licensed operations in the British Virgin Islands, the company announced.
The expansion marks the firm’s first entry into the BVI and follows regulatory approval. Gareth Thomas, a veteran of the jurisdiction’s corporate services sector, has been appointed managing director to lead the new office.
Leeward said the move responds to growing client demand for integrated services across offshore jurisdictions. The company noted that many clients establishing paired Cayman-BVI structures previously had to work with multiple providers and manage separate compliance and contract requirements.
From its BVI office, Leeward will provide company management and administration, registered agent and office services, directorships and compliance support. The firm highlighted particular expertise in digital asset structuring, an area it said is driving demand for streamlined services.
“The BVI launch transforms how we serve clients operating in multiple offshore jurisdictions,” said Glenn Kennedy, founder of Leeward.
Thomas, who has decades of experience in BVI corporate services, said the office would focus on delivering “sophisticated, responsive service” while supporting growth in sectors such as digital assets.
Leeward said the integrated model reduces formation timelines for paired Cayman-BVI structures from weeks to days by unifying compliance oversight, systems, and fee structures.
The company, headquartered in the Cayman Islands, also provides trust, fiduciary and governance services across multiple jurisdictions.
