Publication to focus on Guernsey’s qualities as a business centre

A compendium advocating the strengths of Guernsey’s diverse business community is to be published in March.

The Guernsey Review 2012 follows on from the ‘Global Threats and Opportunities’ live debate which was hosted in Guernsey last October by financial news service WealthBriefing.

Lighthouse Media are responsible for compiling the Guernsey Review with assistance from Guernsey Finance who have guided the publishers in selecting appropriate content for an international audience.

The digital edition utilises software that delivers an e-publication in real-time with unlimited reach to any web connected device, it is search engine friendly, fully interactive and will accommodate video content, along with audio or animation, click through links and online response forms, will be distributed globally to subscribers of wealth management media and there will also be a printed version available locally and within the UK’s wealth management sector.

“Following the 2011 Guernsey Review event, hosted by WealthBriefing, it was observed that the island lacks a convenient resource that concisely explains exactly what Guernsey is about. There are plenty of associated websites and periodicals about the island and our diverse finance sector but nothing that presents the facts about the current economic climate, statistical information and government infrastructure,” said Rosie Allsopp, Managing Editor at Lighthouse Media.

The publisher has engaged the services of Guernsey’s leading business practitioners to provide expert commentary about the various business sectors and topics of current interest.

“We have approached experts in both the financial and business support sectors who wish to contribute to the editorial coverage. We are also interested to hear from those who can provide expert commentary on their chosen field,” said Mrs Allsopp.

“It appears that Guernsey will remain under increasing external scrutiny for the foreseeable future. We feel that the Guernsey Review represents an opportunity for the island to dispel some of the myths associated with offshore finance. We are very much targeting those professionals and institutions who possess an interest in Guernsey and its finance sector but the publication will be broad enough to appeal to governments and the larger national and international business communities,” said Jon Taylor, Managing Director of Lighthouse Media.
