About Connect Guernsey

A professional network built with purpose — for everyone who calls Guernsey home.

Our Founding Story

Connect Guernsey was founded in November 2025 by a group of professionals who shared a simple belief: that Guernsey deserved a professional network that truly reflected its community — diverse, ambitious, and deeply committed to the island.

What started as a conversation quickly became a movement. Within weeks, connections were being made and support was pouring in from Guernsey's Chamber of Commerce, Innovate Guernsey, and other leading organisations. It became clear that this was something the island had long needed.

We identified a gap — not just in networking opportunities, but in the sense of belonging that professionals from all backgrounds could feel when they built their lives in Guernsey. Connect Guernsey was created to bridge that gap.

We are currently formally incorporating as a company limited by guarantee, with our official launch planned for May 2026. The momentum behind us has been extraordinary, and we are grateful to everyone who has believed in this vision from the start.
