Ms Beech, who formerly worked in the enterprise division audit practice at professional services firm KPMG, will look after day-to-day finance operations for the firm and its subsidiaries, as well as head special projects.

Ian Cook, group president and CEO of BAS, said: “Jennifer will make an excellent addition to our finance team, helping us to continue operating as effectively as we possibly can.

“I’m pleased to welcome her on board and I look forward to working with her.”

Ms Beech, a certified public accountant, left KPMG as a manager, where she worked with a variety of island businesses and organisations, including Polaris Holding Company, which operates the docks in Hamilton and Watlington Waterworks.
