Guernsey Chamber of Commerce has announced the appointment of Brooke Kenyon as President and Nicholas Collinson as Vice President, following elections held at the organisation's Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 6 May 2026.
The appointments mark a new chapter for the Chamber as it continues to build on a year of active policy engagement and a packed programme of events and initiatives.
Kenyon is a Chartered PR Practitioner with over 20 years of experience and Managing Director of communications agency Orchard. She has served on the Chamber's Executive Committee for five years.
"This is a genuinely exciting time to be leading the Chamber. We have incredible momentum - our voice in policy discussions is stronger than ever, and the breadth of what we deliver for businesses across the island continues to expand.
"My focus will be on making sure every member feels the real, tangible value of being part of this community. Guernsey is a wonderful place to live and work, and Chamber has a vital role to play in keeping it that way - championing the conditions which make Guernsey a great place to live and work."
Collinson is a Guernsey-based entrepreneur and business consultant, and Founder and Director of Alnistar Ltd. He brings experience across mergers and acquisitions, fintech, and emerging technologies, having previously built and exited Neva, a UK vehicle leasing business with a proprietary digital platform, and co-founded DeFi platform MELD. He currently advises high-growth companies and supports complex cross-border transactions.
He said: "Chamber is, at its heart, a brilliant community, and it's that spirit of collaboration that makes it so powerful. When businesses come together, share ideas and support one another, the benefits extend far beyond any individual organisation.
"I've seen first-hand how that collective energy creates real, positive outcomes for our island, and with so much happening in my area of work in digital finance and technology, there's never been a more interesting time to be part of those conversations.
"I'm looking forward to playing my part in strengthening connections and continuing to make Chamber a place where great things happen for Guernsey's business community."
In the last year Chamber delivered over 30 events to more than 2,000 attendees, led the cross-sector G8 Voice of Guernsey Business report ahead of the General Election, and continued to drive key initiatives including the Sustainable Business Initiative and St Malo trade connections.
Executive Director Alice Gill said: "I'm pleased to welcome Brooke and Nicholas into these leadership roles. Their energy, commitment and passion for Guernsey business will be a tremendous asset as we look ahead to 2026 and beyond. The Chamber is in a strong and positive position, and I know we'll continue to go from strength to strength together."
