Jonathan Renouf

Candidate for Deputy St. Brelade

About me

St Brelade is my home parish. I went to school at La Moye, Les Quennevais and Hautlieu, before gaining a degree and PhD in Geography at Durham University.

I had an award-winning 30 year career as a TV producer at the BBC in London, where I gained a reputation for delivering creatively ambitious projects on schedule and on budget.

In 2019 I came back to live in St Brelade with my family. I campaigned for the skate park at Les Quennevais, whilst fighting inappropriate overdevelopment in the parish. I’m on the Council of the National Trust for Jersey and I’ve been a regular columnist in the JEP.
