New address for the Guernsey Financial Services Commission

From Tuesday 6 May 2025, visitors to the Guernsey Financial Services Commission should come to the Commission’s reception and new meeting rooms at Regency Court on Glategny Esplanade in St Peter Port.

Director General William Mason, said: “Whilst we have restricted the growth in our staff numbers over the last 12 years to a greater extent than many of our peers in other jurisdictions, our numbers are increasing modestly given both the growing demand for increasing technology skills as well as the additional work which the Bailiwick’s MONEYVAL report’s recommendations place on us.

“In the run-up to the MONEYVAL evaluation, we ran a series of outreach sessions for industry on what to expect from the inspection. The feedback we received was positive, and we will build on this as the majority of the MONEYVAL recommendations can be addressed in the most proportionate way through outreach and engagement. The new space, which is two doors down from the Commission’s Glategny Court office, will enable the Commission to host up to 150 people for industry outreach and events. The number of engagements we have in our offices with firms has also increased leading to capacity limitations at key meeting times which tend to work best for firms. We wish to maintain our ability to have face to face conversations with firms as we think this is generally superior to most other methods of communication. With all this in mind, we have taken some additional office space in Regency Court, with our reception and meeting spaces, which will be able to hold significantly more people, moving to the new office."

The Commission’s postal address will also be changing. The new address will be: Guernsey Financial Services Commission, Regency Court, Glategny Esplanade, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 3HQ.
