Butterfield in Jersey, a local provider of banking and financial services including savings accounts and mortgages, has announced its sponsorship of Genuine Jersey.
As a non-profit organisation, Genuine Jersey promotes talented home-grown artisans, farmers and producers. It celebrates the best in dairy and farm produce, fish and shellfish, sweet treats, beverages, arts and crafts, flowers, plants and jewellery. The distinctive Genuine Jersey logo is a mark of quality and the organisation plays an important role in educating residents and visitors about the benefits of buying local, highlighting the range and diversity of seasonal produce on offer.
Richard Saunders, Butterfield’s Managing Director of the Channel Islands & UK, said: “This sponsorship is a reflection of our continued commitment to the local community and support of the island’s vibrant economy. Together with Genuine Jersey, we hope to promote the benefits of buying local, which in turn supports local jobs and helps to reduce the island’s carbon footprint.”
John Garton, Chief Executive of Genuine Jersey Products Association, said: “We are delighted to welcome Butterfield onboard as a sponsor member. Their contribution will help us continue to raise awareness of locally produced goods and support all those involved in their production from craft workers to artists and farmers to fishermen.”
