In his new senior role, Mr Luff will be responsible for expanding PwC’s private equity and venture capital assurance business further, and for establishing new client relationships in this area.

An expert in investment management and insurance, particularly in the management and administration of private equity and venture capital funds, Mr Luff rejoins PwC’s Guernsey office having spent a year working in industry as Chief Finance Officer at a private equity fund administrator in Guernsey.

Mr Luff began his career with Coopers & Lybrand in Guernsey in 1996, qualifying as a chartered accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers in 1999.

He has also served on the Board of several General Partners of offshore private equity funds, and has been involved in the audit of numerous entities in many private equity and venture capital structures.

Steve Le Page, Senior Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, announced that:

“I am delighted to welcome John back to the firm. The Channel Islands marketplace is currently seeing unprecedented levels of demand for high level expertise, robust technology and procedures and employee flexibility in the specialist area of fund administration – all of which pose real challenges for both local financial services businesses and the wider private equity community."
