Director of Economic and Financial Crime Bureau quits

Wednesday 17 January 2024

Kevin Davis, the first and so far only Director of Guernsey's Economic and Financial Crime Bureau, is leaving his post for personal family reasons.

"I’ve enjoyed my time working in Guernsey," he said.

"Becoming the first Director of the EFCB is a source of pride for me. The EFCB is now well-established and is set up for the future where its role in supporting the island’s efforts to combat financial crime will be key."

Deputy Rob Prow, President of the Committee for Home Affairs, and Jason Moriarty, States of Guernsey Chief Operating Officer, have both expressed their thanks to Mr Davis for his efforts in the role and wish him well for the future.

Deputy Prow said: "I want to thank Kevin for his work to establish the Economic and Financial Crime Bureau on a statutory footing. This was a significant step and Kevin has helped position the EFCB for its future development. I wish him and his family the very best for the future."

Following Mr Davis’ departure, Phil Hunkin will step in as Interim Director while a formal and open recruitment process is carried out to find a permanent replacement.

Mr Hunkin previously held the role of Head of the former Economic Crime Division in Guernsey.
