Sovereign was a Silver Sponsor at last week's GibLink London event held at the OXO Tower as part of Gibraltar Day in London 2026.

Simon Denton, Managing Director, attended on behalf of the Group, meeting investors, entrepreneurs, professionals and members of London’s Gibraltarian community over the course of the evening.

In her keynote address, the Hon Gemma Arias-Vasquez MP, Minister for Health, Care and Business, announced a new residency route for self-sufficient individuals over the age of 55 who wish to live in Gibraltar. Applicants will be required to hold private medical insurance, make a financial contribution to the health system and spend at least six months a year in Gibraltar. The Minister also announced a new think tank on the future of business in Gibraltar, to be led by Peter Montegriffo KC.

With the UK–EU Treaty on Gibraltar now in place, Gibraltar offers new opportunities for those looking to live, invest and do business there. With offices in both Gibraltar and the UK, and a presence across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, Sovereign is well placed to support individuals and businesses in establishing connections with Gibraltar.

Our thanks to HM Government of Gibraltar for hosting the event.
