The promotional agency and representative body for Guernsey's financial sector is trying to fill a gap overseas left by deputy chief executive Kate Clouston's decision to depart. She will become global relationship manager with offshore law firm Collas Crill next year.

Guernsey Finance is looking for a "a new specialist in business development overseas" after Clouston said she was moving to "a new business development role within the island’s finance industry".

Clouston joined GF early in 2015, spending a significant amount of time abroad, particularly in Asia, where her fluency in Mandarin won plaudits for the organisation, it said in a statement yesterday.

“Kate has made a tremendous impact in the time she has been with us,” the organisation's chief executive, Dominic Wheatley, said. “In particular she has helped to transform the success of our efforts in China and Hong Kong, and I know her work has been well respected by the local industry. I am delighted for Kate to have this new opportunity and wish her well for the future.

“We will now look to recruit a replacement for Kate, specialising in global business development, and look to build on her good work," he added.
