Guernsey is Moscow-bound

A delegation from Guernsey’s finance industry is visiting Moscow this month to learn more about the potential opportunities for the two centres to do business together.

Guernsey has been developing its presence in the ‘emerging’ markets during the last five years.

The Island opened a representative office in Shanghai at the end of 2007 and sent its first official delegation to India towards the end of last year. The visit to Moscow during the week commencing Monday 16th May will represent Guernsey’s initial coordinated activity in Russia.

The Guernsey delegation to Moscow will comprise Miss Le Poidevin; Stuart Phillips, Director at PKF in Guernsey and Chairman of the Guernsey Russian and Eastern European Financial Forum (GREEFF); Gerald Hough, Managing Director of Investor Services for State Street in the Channel Islands; and Irina Blin from Accent Multilingual Services who will help with interpreting during the visit.
