Ms Huxtable is also appointed as Deputy Chair of the IoD Guernsey, sharing that role with Sally Rochester.

Glen Tonks, Chair of the IoD Guernsey Branch, congratulated each on their new role.

He said these appointments were made following an extensive formal recruitment process focused on further broadening the skills and experience of the existing committee.

"I’m really excited to welcome the six new IoD Ambassadors to our committee. The latest appointments will not only strengthen our coverage and experience across all industries & sectors, but they also bring new ideas, perspectives and knowledge. They are highly regarded and respected by their peers and have a passion for a better business world through good corporate governance."
