THE National Trust for Jersey’s fundraising officer has been appointed its next chief executive.
Alan Le Maistre will take over from Charles Alluto, who is standing down in April following 24 years in the role.
In accepting the appointment Mr Le Maistre said: “We are blessed to live on an island so rich in history, culture and natural beauty.
“Our island unites us, and we have a shared responsibility to protect it, for the enjoyment of all Islanders and for future generations.
“I am very grateful for the opportunity afforded to me by the trust. It is an exciting time for the organisation. We have the chance to build on our past success and to use our lands, buildings, and people to give back so much more to the Island. I very much look forward to being part of that journey.”
Mr Alluto said he was “pleased to be handing the reins over to such a dedicated and committed supporter of the trust’s vision and values”.
He added: “Alan has the skills needed to continue developing the trust’s important work in the Island and I wish him every success in the coming years.”
