When the opportunity to purchase Leale’s Yard was presented to the former P&R of which I was a Member we had no hesitation in pursuing it. I think the deal announced today represents good VFM & importantly unlocks the site for development after many years of unsuccessful attempts to progress #govgg

I was asked by the Guernsey Press to write an opinion piece on what it takes to lead effectively in Guernsey’s political system, this was my response… “Leadership in Guernsey Politics: What Works, What Doesn’t, & What It Takes?”

Pleased to attend Government House today to witness the investiture of Jo Reeve with the British Empire Medal by HE the Lt Governor. Much of Jo’s public service goes unseen. I’ve been honoured to work with him in External Relations for over 12 years & he has headed up the team for the last 8!
