New number two at Jersey Finance

Thursday 03 April 2014

Richard Corrigan is the new deputy chief executive officer at Jersey Finances to replace Heather Bestwick who left at the end of 2013.

Mr Corrigan said: “I am looking forward to the opportunity and challenge that the role brings in deputising for Geoff on occasions and supporting his work in representing the Industry where it is important that we have a voice, while continuing to oversee our international market development programme.”

Mr Corrigan, who joined Jersey Finance at the start of 2013, will continue to lead the organisation’s market development work. In his earlier banking career he held senior roles with both the Royal Bank of Scotland International and Barclays Wealth, working in a number of leading finance centres. Before moving to Jersey Finance, he was director for Barclays Wealth in Jersey.

Geoff Cook, CEO of Jersey Finance, said: “I am delighted that we have been able to fill this senior role from within the organisation. Richard’s financial services background, his management skills and his more recent experience and insights in developing business in the key international markets, makes him ideally suited for the deputy chief executive role.“
