MULTI-MILLIONAIRE Guy Hands’ belief that Guernsey is on the cusp of a ‘great decade’ was backed yesterday by industry bodies and the island’s chief minister.
Guernsey Institute of Directors chairwoman Anne Ewing (pictured) felt the island had every opportunity to be on the cusp of such a period of growth.
‘No-one can see into the future, but it is clear that the economics of the world are shifting geographically and Guernsey must continue to be nimble and be able to do business on a truly global scale. Guernsey Finance has worked very hard to promote the island and local businesses should be taking advantage of this initiative and benefiting from this platform,’ she said.
Speaking at the Chamber of Commerce annual dinner, Mr Hands said that while the eurozone faced 10 years or more of recession or depression, the island could boom.

I really think that the Finance industry has done the average Guernsey person no favours…I remember the days before the Island became an offshoot of the (“city”) London..When BMW,s and “pin stripe” suits hardly existed..
