Alan Le Maistre, the National Trust for Jersey’s current Fundraising Officer, will become the organisation’s Chief Executive Officer next month.
He will take over from Charles Alluto who described Alan as ‘a dedicated and committed supporter of the Trust’s vision and values’.
‘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,’ he said.
Alan believes 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.’
He added: ‘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.’
Alan will take up the appointment at the Trust’s AGM in April. The Trust’s President, Charlie Malet de Carteret, said: ‘We are confident that he will build upon the strong foundations which Charles has established over the last 25 years and take the Trust forward towards its 100th anniversary in 2036.’
