Charles Parkinson has been appointed as a director of the Legis Group. A non-executive chairman or director of a number of LSE or AIM-listed companies Parkinson’s specialism is commercial property and alternative investments. He is a board member of Bailiwick Investments Limited which has an interest in the Legis Group following the company’s management buyout completed in March this year.

Group managing director, Stuart Platt-Ransom, says: “Charles is highly regarded, with a wealth of experience and his appointment to the board further strengthens the Legis Group’s position as a best of breed independent.

“His track record in professional services and depth of strategic insight will be invaluable to the board.”

Parkinson trained in London and is a chartered accountant and barrister. He has worked in the Guernsey finance industry since 1981 and currently is the Minister of Treasury & Resources in the States of Guernsey.  

"I am pleased to be joining the board of Legis Group Holdings Limited. The business is comparable with a number of organisations with which I have had extensive involvement and I look forward to bringing my experience to the board," says Parkinson.

Legis has almost doubled its staff numbers over the last three years. More than 60 employees work for the company from its recently refurbished offices in New Street.
