Chris Leck
Candidate for Deputy St. Saviour
I am standing for election as Deputy in St Saviour to use my financial and business skills and experience in contributing to the Island and the Parish.
I served as an Audit Partner with Deloitte and have worked in the Jersey Financial Services sector. My public sector background includes three years as Projects Director for the States’ Treasury Department and a decade-long tenure as Treasurer Trustee for the Jersey Employment Trust
I have lived in Jersey since 2003 and live in St. Saviour. For many Jersey has become worryingly expensive and less attractive than it was. I want to help change that. This requires Jersey to have strong, efficient and competent government. Expenditure should be prudent and represent value for money. The books must be balanced. The States Assembly should encourage new and existing businesses to prosper.
