Manx Financial Group and Conister Bank make key Main Board appointment

Greg Jones, one of the Isle of Man’s foremost tax advisors, has been appointed as an Independent Non-Executive Director of Conister Bank Limited (Conister) and its parent company Manx Financial Group (MFG).

Greg, the former Head of Tax at KPMG on the Isle of Man, where he spent 29 years before retiring in October 2019, will also be a member of the MFG Group Audit, Risk, and Compliance Committee.

The appointment is seen as auspicious, given Greg’s connection with Conister Bank stretches back nearly 25 years.

“I am delighted that the Group have asked me to become a non-exec Director at this time,” Greg explained. “To join the Conister family is a really interesting development for me. It helps that I know the company well.”

He continued: “With a background in tax-related financial services, rather than banking, hopefully, I can bring a different, more generalised commercial approach, to the Board.”

Douglas Grant, MFG’s Group CEO and Managing Director of Conister Bank, said this appointment further demonstrates our intention to continually broaden the Board’s experience with knowledgeable local business leaders who can add value to our growth strategy.
