Who better to describe the experience of relocating their business to Jersey than those who have already made the move?

Graham Shuttleworth Finance Director

Josef El-Raghy Chairman CENTAMIN PLC

“Our move to Jersey has been very rewarding on both a professional and personal basis. To operate a resource business we consider that Jersey satisfies all our requirements. We are able to run the business professionally and efficiently and to the benefit of our stakeholders (being public company shareholders), the government where our project is domiciled, and our employees.

There is great depth to legal, accounting and various other required support services in Jersey and we consider this move as one for the long term.”

RANDGOLD RESOURCES LIMITED

“Randgold Resources Limited is an African focused gold mining and exploration company with listings on the London Stock Exchange and New York’s NASDAQ. Randgold Resources has operated very successfully from the island since its incorporation in Jersey in 1995. During that time, the company has grown to be one of the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. Jersey’s established financial industry with direct access to international banking and capital markets, together with advanced communications, highly regarded judicial system, and an open and progressive attitude towards business development, make Jersey an excellent location for Randgold Resources corporate office. Jersey’s close proximity to European cities, offering good connections to our sites in Africa, is also proving to be invaluable.”

David Slater Director CONSOLIDATED MINERALS

“Consolidated Minerals established its head office in Jersey in September 2010. The process to register and licence the business in Jersey was very straightforward and Locate Jersey provided excellent support during this process. The key reasons for choosing Jersey included the level of professional (legal and accounting) support on the Island, access to local, qualified staff and the closeness to international markets. In addition the quality of the living conditions and beautiful environment made Jersey a welcome location for those employees who have relocated.”

Dr Tim Coughlin President and CEO LYDIAN INTERNATIONAL

John Bushell Vice President

“Lydian International chose Jersey as a base due to its straight forward regulatory regime and nononsense approach to business support. The island sits squarely between the time zone of our market in Toronto and that of our operating region in eastern Europe. Since settling on the island we have become familiar with the many other business-friendly benefits that Jersey offers – regular direct flight connections into London (arriving in The City faster than many mainland commuters) and can readily access our European-based investors with direct flights to Zurich, Geneva and Paris. Jersey’s diverse population and status as a well-regarded international financial centre means experienced and often multilingual support staff and financial professionals are readily available. Jersey is a safe and healthy environment for head office staff and their families and there are few of the stressful side-effects to head office work in large cities which aids morale and increases productivity.”

ENSIGN ENERGY SERVICES INC.

“Ensign Energy Services Inc, a Canadian publically-listed company is one of the largest providers of integrated onshore drilling, well servicing and completion services to the hydrocarbon and geothermal drilling industries. In 2010, Ensign decided to re-locate a corporate presence to Jersey which was selected for a number of reasons: the established financial industry with excellent access to international banking; excellent communications; a progressive attitude towards the establishment of corporate offices; a tax effective jurisdiction; and close proximity to European cities offering good connections to the world. The move has been extremely successful in fulfilling our objectives.”

Jersey is well positioned to access other capital markets with direct flights to key UK and European business centres and airport hubs.
