Graeme Smith, CEO, Jersey Business said: "Jersey Business has been established for five years during which time it has built a fantastic reputation for giving sound business advice to start-up and established businesses in Jersey. As part of our normal governance process Wendy and Eliot Lincoln, who has been with Jersey Business from the start of its journey, have left the Board. Both Wendy and Eliot have steered the organization with energy and enthusiasm sharing their experience to help shape the way we deliver support to the local business community."

"We are a small team and so it is important that everyone involved in the organization plays their part. I would like to thank Wendy and Eliot for their invaluable contribution and to welcome Andy and Jennifer to the Board for the next stage of our evolution."
