The island’s promotional arm for the financial services industry has appointed its first representative for the north of England who will focus on business development.
Rowan Stone will bring nearly three decades’ worth of brand marketing experience to the role to develop Guernsey Finance’s profile in the north of England, including the investment funds, private wealth, insurance and pensions sectors.
He's worked with international clients across numerous sectors with several connections across Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds.
But he was born and bred in Guernsey, with qualifications for Lancaster University Management School.
He now lives in Wilmslow in Cheshire, with offices in Manchester city centre, and is Chairman of The St James’s Club - a private members club in Manchester.
Mr Stone said: “I am thrilled in joining Guernsey Finance and being involved in establishing Guernsey’s profile in the region and developing new connections, partnerships and business opportunities."
Guernsey Finance Chief Executive Rupert Pleasant said he was delighted to welcome Rowan to the agency.
“Rowan’s experience will help strengthen our connection with the north of England, which is a growing focus for us as business continues to grow in this region. More than two thirds of the UK’s financial services industry is housed outside of the City of London, and Guernsey is proud to have a symbiotic relationship with all regions of the UK. We hope this partnership will continue to grow as we strengthen our connections as a leading international finance centre.”
