Candidate for Deputy Grouville and St. Martin
My name is Rosemary Binet and I am standing for election as Deputy for Grouville and St Martin
I was born in Jersey and worked in the agricultural industry until 2014. I was a co- founder and Finance Director of the Jersey Royal Company and I have developed interests in property and two retail/service businesses. I am also a co-founder and Trustee of the charity FOCUS on Mental Illness.
Having lived in Jersey all my life I have borne witness to the deterioration in the way our island has been governed and no longer feel comfortable sitting on the side-lines, ‘hoping for the best’.
