The Government of Jersey’s Chief Executive Officer is to continue in the role.
Dr Andrew McLaughlin (pictured) will be employed on a new contract from 1 July 2024 with a six-month review period.
Chief Minister Deputy Lyndon Farnham, Chair of the States Employment Board, said: ‘‘I am pleased to be able to confirm that Andrew has agreed to continue in his role.
“Since starting with the Government last September, Andrew has provided clear leadership across the public service, ensuring good governance, sound financial control and a collaborative approach to management. As a long-standing Jersey resident, he also has in-depth knowledge of the local economy and community.
“Retaining Andrew as our Chief Executive Officer will provide much-needed stability and continuity across the public sector.”
Dr McLaughlin led the public sector on a secondment from NatWest from September last year until May 2024.
He is known for his leadership roles as CEO of Commercial and Institutional, Non-Ring-Fenced Bank at NatWest, and his tenure as CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland International in Jersey. He has also held several advisory and non-executive roles, including Chair of Prince’s Trust Scotland, member of the CBI Economics and Tax Committee, member of the Fiscal Policy Panel for the States of Guernsey, and Visiting Professor at the Centre for Globalisation at the University of Nottingham. Dr McLaughlin holds a first-class degree in Economics and Politics and a PhD in Public Policy.
The States Employment Board has granted permission for Dr McLaughlin to honour a previous commitment to undertake a non-executive role as Chair of the Board of the Bank of Gibraltar.
Dr McLaughlin said: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to extend my time as CEO. It is a privilege to do this job and I will do all I can to help the Government deliver the best outcomes for Islanders.”
