Guernsey Finance, the promotional agency for the island's finance industry internationally, has appointed Rupert Pleasant as its new Chief Executive.

He replaces the outgoing Dominic Wheatley in further strengthening the security and stability of Guernsey's finance sector and acting as an ambassador for the further development of the industry.

Pleasant joins from Beauvoir Group, where he was Acting Group Managing Director. He has a background in private wealth with nearly 30 years working in the sector both in Guernsey and abroad for firms such as Lloyds Bank, Barclays Wealth, Credit Suisse, Investec and PraxisIFM among others. He has previously worked in Hong Kong and South Africa, two of Guernsey's finance industry's key markets.

Wheatley, whose scheduled departure was announced in December, is due to leave the role in June.
