HISTORY OF ZETLAND
Established in 1987 and headquartered in Hong Kong with offices around the world, Zetland Fiduciary Group is a business consultancy offering personal service and professional advice in the areas of company formation, trust settlement, accounting and tax.
Zetland is the old Norse name for the Shetland Islands where our founder was born. Our aim is to continue the Scottish characteristics of intelligence and hard work in the service of clients.
Since inception, Zetland has been working with a select group of individuals and corporations to achieve their objective in a cost-effective, private and conservative manner.

The Zetland Logo
The Zetland logo is based on the Shetland flag that in turn is a blend of the distinctive Nordic and St. Andrew’s crosses.
