“In this new role I hope to be able to bring together all stakeholders to focus on a common purpose and provide consistency, co-ordination and leadership to help drive development of the sector as we move towards 2020.”
David Oxburgh, Chairman of the Guernsey International Business Association, the representative body for the financial services industry in the island, said, “Andy is well-respected among the Guernsey financial services community and I can think of few other persons as suitable and capable to develop this broader strategy role for Guernsey Finance.”
