FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Gibraltar, 3 July 2026. Resilience Group Limited (“Resilience”), a professional services group established in Gibraltar, announces the successful merger of two of the Rock’s prominent local fiduciary and corporate services firms: Octopus International Business Services Limited (“Octopus”) and Rampart Corporate Services Limited (“Ramparts”).
The merger unites two established local portfolios under the Resilience umbrella, creating a comprehensive “one-stop shop” for local businesses, international founders, family offices and corporate entities seeking to grow their presence in — or relocate to — Gibraltar. The combined entity leverages Gibraltar’s robust common-law framework across the financial services, gaming, maritime and technology sectors.
Strengthening the offering on the Rock
Octopus International Business Services (octopus.gi) brings over 20 years of trusted local heritage, specialising in seamless company formation, yacht registration, banking introductions and corporate administration. Rampart Corporate Services (ramparts.gi) contributes a sophisticated suite of fiduciary services — fund administration, trust and foundation management, and outsourced AML/KYC compliance — with a strong reputation in high-growth sectors including FinTech, AI and crypto-assets.
“Gibraltar is a world-class hub for international business, and we are thrilled to bring the talented teams from Octopus and Ramparts together. This merger aligns perfectly with our mission to build a resilient, multi-disciplinary professional services platform right here on the Rock.”
A shared vision for local growth and continuity
The merger combines the deep local expertise, technical excellence and heritage of both Gibraltar teams with enhanced resources and risk-management capabilities. Local clients are assured of complete continuity: existing management teams and staff from both Octopus and Ramparts remain firmly in place to ensure the same high-level, personalised service. Unchanged by this merger, sister law firm Rampart Corporate Advisors Limited continues to deliver its legal services independently of Resilience.
“Joining forces under the Resilience Group family represents an exciting new chapter for Ramparts and Octopus. Our shared values of collaboration and technical excellence mean we can now offer our local and international clients an even greater depth of corporate, fiduciary and compliance support right here in Gibraltar.”
