Welcome to the Third Issue of our Channel Islands Magazine

It is with pride and gratitude that I welcome you to the third issue of our Channel Islands Hand Picked Magazine. Pride, because these pages represent everything that we have built over twenty years by staying true to our core values, and gratitude because we must always be grateful and count our blessings.

These sentiments sit at the heart of our inspirational interview with our new CEO, Ignace Bauwens, as he shares his experiences from an illustrious career in luxury hospitality. We welcome Ignace at an exciting time as we strive to enhance our offering and elevate our stunning properties to deliver truly magical experiences for you, our guests.

This magazine reflects all of these ambitions with stunning photography and compelling content that tells our story and that of those we work with, hand-in-hand. I believe that we all have a duty to support our society through the work we do and the actions we take. My husband, Guy, and I share with you our charitable involvement and our endeavors to help build stronger communities. Charity is also the focus of our feature on the wonderful work of the Channel Islands Air Search team: all working in their free time to keep us safe.

As always, within these pages, you will find advice from our experts on how to stay healthy in body and mind, information on tapping into the latest home and lifestyle trends, and special recipes from our talented chefs to try at home. We hope this magazine inspires your stay with us – please enjoy it with our compliments.
