Catherine Curtis
Candidate for Deputy St. Helier Central
I am standing for election as Deputy of St. Helier Central as a Reform Jersey candidate.
The three priorities in my life are: Family . Business . Community .
Born and educated in Jersey, I have lived here most of my life, apart from six years living in Spain and England. I appreciate how lovely Jersey is, and in many ways it’s a great place to live. I have a first class Degree, and a Diploma in International Environmental Policy.
I am very lucky to have five amazing children; my youngest is almost 16 years old.
I founded and own two local businesses, and I’m the founder of an international brand which has won multiple design awards. It was listed in Sir Richard Branson’s top twenty UK and Irish businesses. I stepped down as Managing Director in 2020, and a new team took over. I gained great knowledge and experience while running this venture, learning much about management, negotiation, and risk.
