REPORT
The Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005 requires the Chairman, in making nominations, to use his or her best endeavours "to ensure that the Commissioners shall be a diverse and balanced group of people in terms of gender, age, experience and skills, who share a commitment to the promotion of the objects of the Commission". In meeting that statutory requirement, non-States Commissioners with a range of backgrounds and professional qualifications were appointed when the Commission was first established.
Mr. Calvert has served as non-States Commissioner since March 2018 in accordance with the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005 and his current term of office expires on March 20th 2021.
The present States Commissioners are, in addition to Deputy C.F. Labey of Grouville as Chairman – Connétable P Le Sueur of Trinity and Deputy J.A. Martin of St. Helier ; and the non-States Commissioners are Mr. D. Melville and Ms. T. Morel .
Mr. Calvert obtained a Masters in Engineering from the University of Oxford, after which he gained employment with W.P. Carey & Co, a New York Stock Exchange listed company, working his way up to become Director and Head of the European section. After 5 years, he moved on to become Managing Director of D.B. Zwirn (UK) Limited. Mr. Calvert then went on to establish his own real estate private equity firm, ThreadGreen Partners, which was sold in 2014 and now named Clarion Partners Europe. Mr. Calvert remains CEO of the firm. Five years ago, he established a family charitable trust with a focus on children's education in Africa and the mental health of children in general. He has travelled extensively around Europe, Asia and Australasia. He moved from Sussex to Jersey with his family in March 2017.
The Non-States Commissioners all serve in an honorary capacity and give many hours of their time freely to assist the work of the Commission. We would like to thank Mr. Calvert for agreeing to continue to offer his considerable expertise to the Commission for a further term.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.
