Christopher (right) began his career with a short stint at the Bank of Bermuda prior to moving to
Guinness Flight (later Investec Asset Management and now Ninety One) in 1994. At Investec, he built his career including such roles as Legal & Technical Manager, Projects Manager, Operations Manager and Technical Director. He has also served on the boards of various Investec funds and special purpose vehicles as well as roles both on the Management Committee and as General Representative of Investec’s offshore life branch.
In 2016 Christopher founded Midshore Consulting Limited, which now has operations in both Guernsey and Florida and clients spanning three continents.

Christopher has spoken at events in Guernsey, London & South Africa and has both authored and contributed to numerous articles.
Christopher said: “Guernsey has always had a robust place in the financial services world, often punching above our weight. Now is a time to embrace a new way of working and bringing the range of CISI qualifications to a wider local audience will help our profession bolster its knowledge base to drive forwards. No other professional body provides the breadth that can allow the study of investment management, cyber security and Islamic finance all in one year!”
Jim Winter, CISI Head of UK Business said: “We would like to thank outgoing President Paul Garrard for his leadership and direction over the last few years. We welcome Christopher and look forward to working with him to continue our work to shape an inspiring professional educational and social programme for our Guernsey members.”
