Monday 11 November 2024

Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands (LBFCI) has announced the appointment of Tom Holvey to its Board of Trustees.

Mr Holvey has previously served as Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of Jersey since early 2022 and brings with him previous experience as both a Trustee and Non-Executive Director.

He has also previously worked as a Senior Civil Servant in the UK, for the Department of Health and Social Care, and as the inaugural Head Economist for Digital in the Cabinet Office. His last role was as the Chief Impact Officer and Chief Economist for the UK Infrastructure Bank.  

On his appointment, Mr Hovey said “I’ve admired the work of Lloyds Bank Foundation for a while, and when looking for a Trustee position where I could add value, this felt like a natural fit. I love that as a Trustee for LBFCI I can support lots of charities, bringing with me my knowledge and experience of assessing impacts and macro-economics.

“I hope I can contribute to the ongoing excellent work of the islands’ charities through LBFCI."

Speaking on the latest addition to the foundations’s Board of Trustees, LBFCI Chair, Philippa Stahelin, commented: “We are thrilled to be joined by Tom, who brings with him a new perspective on the charity sector in the Channel Islands. His experience working with government and knowledge of the wider economy will be hugely beneficial in helping us to support Channel Islands charities.”

LBFCI supports charities across the Channel Islands, that work to improve the lives of disadvantaged individuals and communities. The Foundation provides both financial support and developmental assistance to help charities build their capacity and sustainability.
