Lee Madden, the CEO of GR8 and recently appointed joint Vice President of the Jersey Chamber of Commerce, was also part of a panel discussing the recruitment of qualified Kenyan graduates at a trade mission organised by the British Chamber of Commerce Kenya.
The trade mission was set up to promote new business partnerships, and follows a presentation by Jersey Finance in Nairobi last week.
Mr Madden joined experts from the British Council and Kenyan educational institutions to discuss transforming education through technology, inclusion and partnerships.
He said: “We have built up strong relationships with education providers in Kenya and the training they deliver is of an extremely high standard.
“That’s reflected in the quality of the people that we bring to the Channel Islands to work in various industries.
“It’s a great honour to be invited to speak as part of the trade delegation about the ongoing relationships with the UK and Crown Dependencies and to be part of a flourishing trading relationship with Kenya.
“The Common Travel Area puts us right at the heart of the growing business links with this part of East Africa and I’m pleased that I can represent both GR8 and the Jersey Chamber of Commerce at this important event.”
Mr Madden was joined in Nairobi by Em Holliday, GR8’s Off Island Recruitment Operations Director.
Further meetings involving GR8 and the Jersey Chamber of Commerce are due to take place in Kenya in December.
