Locate Guernsey benefiting from finance sector link-up

Richard Le Tocq is regularly working with individuals from the finance sector both in Guernsey and on the organisation's regular trips to the UK.

There, teams of between two and four industry representatives can undertake up to 15 meetings over two days.

'The key theme of the work of Locate Guernsey is partnership with industry,' he said.

'As well as ensuring better value for money, working with Guernsey's experts in the commercial sector means that we can take advantage of the best marketing and promotional opportunities and also add value to their all-important client relationships.

'This way of working has been a major part of the first six months of work and will continue to underpin all future activity.

'We have invested a lot of time working closely with industry partners and other stakeholders. They understand what our proposition is and how they can help and give us the power to work together to open up networks.

'Some were immediately engaged and completely get the benefits of the project – they have probably offered more than we can do. I am really happy with the support and feedback so far.'
