REPORT
The Jersey Overseas Aid Commission is comprised of three States Commissioners and three non-States Commissioners. The three non-States Commissioners are non-political and bring a wide range of experience, qualification and expertise.
The present States Commissioners are, in addition to Deputy C.F. Labey of Grouville and St. Martin as Chair – Connétable P.B. Le Sueur of Trinity and Deputy S.M. Ahier of St. Helier North; and the non-States Commissioners are Mr. D. Melville , Mr. A. Calvert and Ms. T. Morel .
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 21st 2024.
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.
