Jo Stoddart

Spear’s Review

‘I work to a clear plan to help HNWs, entrepreneurs and business owners discover the benefits of living in Guernsey and establishing their business here. I believe that being easily accessible, reliable and responsive – while being a good listener and sensitive to the needs of others – all stand me in good stead,’ Locate Guernsey director Jo Stoddart tells Spear’s.

Based in the capital, St Peter Port, Stoddart says it’s her role to ‘provide tailored professional information, guidance and a warm welcome to those who would consider relocation to Guernsey’. This includes signposting potential residents to schools, tax advisers, lawyers and property brokers on the island to ease their assimilation.

Appointed in 2018, Stoddart leads a team of three. ‘We all have considerable private sector experience and pride ourselves on being ambassadors for our beautiful, safe, stable and friendly island. We are passionate about externalising the appeal of Guernsey,’ she says.
