Guernsey Electricity is opening its doors to the public this summer, offering islanders the chance to go behind the scenes at its power station on the Bridge.

It’s the first time in a few years that the company has put on tours and it comes at a crucial time in its long history. With cost of living pressures persisting, it’s juggling the immediate concerns of customers with the long-term strategies it hopes will secure the island’s electricity needs for decades to come.

Tony Curr joined CEO Alan Bates at its iconic blue home on Northside to talk about some of the challenges it’s facing as well as the future it’s forecasting.

Two things have stood out in Guernsey this summer — the sunshine and the sound of French being spoken in St Peter Port.

October marked six months since the start of Brittany Ferries’ 15-year contract to provide our ferry services and the company has reported a big growth in the number of passengers, particularly day trippers, travelling from Saint-Malo.

Tony Curr has been to its home port in Roscoff to find out more about the first full season, the future of the island routes, and the ethos of the business itself from CEO Christophe Mathieu.

For many years now, the Ravenscroft brand has been a prominent presence in island life - supporting sport, engaging in community initiatives, and establishing itself among the leading names in Guernsey business.

But soon there will be a new name above the door of the local investment services group - and there’s a new man heading it up. Following the recent takeover of its wealth management operation by Titan Wealth, Robin Newbould has stepped up to the role of CEO, having played a key role from day one in building up the business from behind the scenes.

Amanda Eulenkamp sat down with him at their Guernsey offices in New Street to find out about his journey over the last 20 years or so and what’s new - and what will stay the same - as Ravenscroft embarks on a new era.
