Government priorities for Jersey’s future

Jersey’s business leaders will have the opportunity to hear directly from ministers about their priorities for the Island’s future at the IoD Jersey Leaders’ Lunch sponsored by Skipton International on Wednesday, 4 November 2026.

Hosted by IoD Jersey Chair Alex Ruddy, the exclusive event will bring together directors, business leaders and government representatives for a panel discussion on the priorities for Jersey’s economy and business community in the coming term.

The panel will feature:

• Deputy Gerald Voisin, Minister for Sustainable Economic Development
• Senator Elaine Millar, Minister for Social Security
• Senator Alan Maclean, Minister for Treasury and Resources
• Senator Sir Mark Boleat, Minister for Planning and Regulation

Together, the panel will explore the Government’s priorities and how these align with the recommendations set out in the joint election manifesto developed by IoD Jersey and the Jersey Chamber of Commerce.

The discussion will focus on the issues that matter most to Jersey’s business community, including supporting long-term economic growth and prosperity, improving productivity and competitiveness, creating the conditions for business success, strengthening collaboration between government and industry, and addressing the opportunities and challenges facing the Island.

Alex Ruddy, Chair of IoD Jersey, said: “This Leaders’ Lunch will provide an important opportunity for Jersey’s directors and business leaders to hear directly from ministers about their priorities and vision for the Island. It is also an opportunity for the business community to engage with government and contribute to the conversation about how we create the conditions for long-term economic success and prosperity.”
