The Team
Office Team
The Chamber of Commerce is the biggest business community on the island and encompasses every type of industry within our membership. Our not-for-profit organisation is run by a small number of office staff and a large number of volunteers.

Diane De Garis
Chamber President
Chamber’s President Diane de Garis was elected at the AGM in June 2022, taking over from Elaine Gray for a two year term.
Diane is a chartered accountant, running her own business, DNA, and has a degree in pure mathematics: ‘I absolutely love numbers.’ She sees Chamber as a pivotal part of the island community and its business sector.
“There are so many aspects to Chamber that place it right at the heart of life here and I am passionate about Guernsey so that mixture is a perfect match.”
