The Government of Anguilla (GoA) agreed in March that a Financial Adviser would be appointed to the Ministry of Finance to advise the Government on the development and implementation of its fiscal and economic reform programme. Following the finalisation of the Terms of Reference, a panel comprising representatives from both the GoA and the UK Government conducted interviews for the position.
Mr Brian Deadman has now been appointed to the role of Financial Adviser, on a two year contract. Mr Deadman has over twenty five years experience in the public, non-profit and private sectors. In his last post, he was the Chief Operating Officer at the Department of Health and Social Care on the Isle of Man, overseeing a budget of £230m/EC$800m and 2,600 staff. Previously, Mr Deadman was for six years the Chief Finance Officer of Oxfam International, and earlier Deputy County Treasurer of Northamptonshire County Council in England. He has also worked in both Tanzania and Australia.
My Deadman’s main role will be to advise the Government of Anguilla on the development and implementation of their fiscal and economic reform programme. In March 2016, Executive Council, with advice from the International Monetary Fund, agreed a Medium Term Reform Programme covering the period 2016-2018. Mr Deadman will assist the Ministry in the delivery of this Reform Programme, and also the strengthening of public financial management. He will also help to ensure that UK support to the Government of Anguilla is effectively coordinated. Mr Deadman’s contract will be funded by the UK Government.
Mr Deadman will arrive in Anguilla on 15 September and start work on Monday 19 September.
