Recommend a friend

Our “Recommend a Friend” offer is simplicity itself – we will give all clients a free gift (subject to the scheme rules) each time they recommend a friend or relative who becomes a new investor with Skipton International Limited (SIL).

You can choose one of the following great gift ideas each time you introduce somebody to us and don’t forget, you can claim up to six gifts:

  1. A £35 contribution to the Mines Awareness Trust, a Guernsey-based charity dedicated to clearing landmines throughout the world;
  2. A voucher worth £30, redeemable at Marks & Spencer;
  3. A luxury bouquet of beautiful Guernsey freesias, which can be delivered to UK and Channel Island addresses.

If you are recommending our investment services, simply download and fill out the form, pass it to your friend and ask them to enclose it with their application form, obtainable below. Once the account has been opened, we will send you the gift of your choice.

If it’s a borrower that you are recommending, please complete the section below and give it to your friend to pass to our staff at the time of the mortgage interview.

We hope you enjoy the range of gifts we have selected for you.
