Deputy Premier Hosts Gibraltar Representatives
The Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance Bob Richards today [June 10] met with the Minister for Financial Services and Gaming of Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar, the Hon. Albert Isola, and James Tipping, the Finance Centre Director at the Ministry of Financial Services.
“Accompanied by the Financial Secretary, Anthony Manders, Minister Richards and the Gibraltar representatives held cordial talks, at the Ministry of Finance in Hamilton, centred on matters of mutual interest to both countries,” a spokesperson said.
“Minister Isola is leading a delegation to the Island with an itinerary which included attendance at the Bermuda Captive Conference at the Fairmont Southampton Hotel, promoting Gibraltar as a gateway to the EU single market for Bermuda-based businesses.
“The representatives this morning held informal talks on the financial services sectors of the two jurisdictions. Both Ministers attended recent meetings in London, and today were able to review matters previously discussed relating to international cooperation.
“They also discussed the experiences of the two territorial economies and the gaming industry in Gibraltar.”
In the world of business, its not who you know but more importantly, its who knows you. Thanks Deputy Premier Bob Richards for all you are doing to make us, (Bermuda) once again recognized in the world of, “big business.”
P.S. “The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.”
