Hello, good evening. Welcome to BBC Channel Islands. Attracting | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
investment, hundreds of local jobs as companies from Sweden to | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
Singapore set up shop in Jersey. Plus, islanders demand answers over | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
another fatal cruise ship accident. And from college kitchen to de luxe | :00:27. | :00:37. | |

dining. The school cook teaching Nine hundred jobs have been created | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
in Jersey since 2008 thanks to a strategy to bring more companies to | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
the island. Among them are mining, oil and gas firms, and a carbon | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
trading business. But are local home grown companies being left out | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
in the cold? Edward Sault reports. Here's a question for you, what do | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
Sweden, Singapore, and Sheffield all have in common with Jersey? The | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
answer - they're all competing against each other to get companies | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
to locate in their jurisdictions. And for Jersey it seems to have | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
paid off. Dr Tim Coughlin runs one of those companies that's relocated | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
to Jersey. His company is called Lydian and it's a gold mining | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:34. | ||
business - so why Jersey? largest shareholder is the Bank. | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
They want us to domicile some were well regarded and soak Jersey | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
happened to beat someone we already knew. And they've employed locals | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
too. Heather Tibbo works for Vestra Wealth - they handle around two | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
billion pounds worth of funds. And for this Jersey girl - it's a dream | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
come true to see the business she works for relocate back to familiar | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
shores. When we first set up the business 15 months ago there were | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
two of us who moved over here with another local director but we are | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
now 10 people and nine are people who local and we're proud of that. | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
We will look to improve and grow over the years. Good news for the | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
businesses and good news for jobs in Jersey. For others, it is a | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
different story. The tenants of this shop are packing up after 26 | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
years' trading. The lease has run out. Paul Trollic is one of the | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
bosses of the Gooseberry Bush. He says whilst he agrees with the move | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
to create jobs local businesses should be helped first. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
government look at it from the point of view of the more revenue | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
they can bring to the island the better but nevertheless you must | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
look after your own. We feel we have not been looked after and | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
there are many local businesses that have not been looked after. | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
She to help local businesses first? We already are and have been. Jeers | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
the enterprise looked after both small and medium-sized businesses | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
specifically. They also did inward investment -- Jersey. We are | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
splitting the Investment up. She is the enterprise is being rebranded. | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
:03:28. | :03:29. | ||
-- a Jersey enterprise. 87 new companies established themselves | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
here in Jersey between 2008 and 2010, government officials say | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
they'll continue trying to attract more of them and hope it will | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
stimulate the struggling jobs market. The developer of Fort | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Tourgis in Alderney says he's satisfied there'll be new direct | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
flights to and from the island, once the new hotel has been built | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
on the site. Construction of the 70-bedroom development will get | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
underway this summer, and is due to be completed by the second half of | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
next year. Frans Verweij says he's spoken to several airlines and is | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
optimistic new routes will be established. Meanwhile Jersey has a | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
new air-route to Cambridge Airport coming later this year. There'll be | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
flights between the university city and the island every Saturday from | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
mid-May until mid-September. It'll be run by the Channel Islands-based | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
airline Blue Islands. A Guernsey couple are still waiting for | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
answers over a fatal accident involving a sister ship of the | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Costa Concordia. Chris and Ron Cleal were passengers on the Costa | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
Europa, when it hit a quay in Egypt two years ago. Three crew members | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
were killed but Italian authorities are refusing to release the | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
findings of an inquiry into the incident. The couple told our | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
reporter Mike Wilkins they'll never go on another Costa vessel again. | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
We were in bed and heard a loud bang. Jumped up and realised we | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
were in the port. Absolutely petrifying. Watching back the video | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
of their dream holiday, which quickly became a nightmare. Chris | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
and Ron Cleal were on a ship called the Costa Europa when they were | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
woken early one morning to the news that the vessel had collided with a | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
quay at Sharm El Sheik in Egypt. They filmed as events unfolded. | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
water pouring out down there. We do not know what has happened | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
whatsoever. No information whatsoever. I went to another | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
member of the crew and said it looks serious should be get the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
life jackets and would hold it was only an exercise. 4 o'clock in the | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
morning. Look at this listing. waited an hour for any announcement | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
from the crew and then it took many hours to get off the boat. They | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
were so angry about the way the incident was handled they | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
complained to the UK marine accident investigation branch. | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
should happen with an incident like this is the findings should be made | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
public and people responsible should pay a penalty for that. You | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
can see the angle we are at. There are still big bangs occurring. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
Costa Cruises has told the BBC they carried out an internal | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
investigation and produced a report with they shared with the Italian | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
authorities but they won't share it with us. And the International | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Maritime Organisation who're the regulators and are supposed to | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
receive the findings of all major investigations haven't got this | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
report either. It's been two years since Ron and Chris's terrifying | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
experience and they're still keen to cruise, just not with Costa | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
:06:46. | :06:48. | ||
Cruises. We were not impressed and would not take another cruise with | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
them. A definitely not! And a special radio documentary on the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
Costa Europa presented by Simon Cox will be broadcast tonight at 8pm on | :06:54. | :06:59. | |

The remains of some German anti landing devices have been found on | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Guernsey's west coast. They were discovered at low water on Saline | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Bay near Grand Rocques. Although not uncommon on the island's | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
beaches, these ones are particularly well preserved. The | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
ageing obstacles were found by a man taking a walk along the beach. | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
We opted to go for a walk and coming back heading across the bay | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
we know it is these concrete objects lying in the sand. And I | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
recognise them as being anti- demanding obstacles which the | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
Germans placed on this beach. you've been out for a slap-up meal | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
