In total, 24 relocations were made with Locate Guernsey's help, including nine personal relocations and 15 businesses (creating 53 new jobs). 

The agency reports that a value of £667,000 was returned to the States of Guernsey exchequer through income tax and document duty receipts. Combined with the value of relocations in 2016, after two years £1,692,000 has been received by the States.

These include professional services firms such as accountancy practices, wealth managers, tax advisers, estate agencies and law firms. The hospitality and construction sectors also see spend from newcomer families and businesses."
