GFSC Public statement relating to the person known as Ms Pippa Marie Harbour of Shoreham Lodge, La Rue des Varendes, Castel, Guernsey GY5 7RF
On 22 October 2009 the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (“the Commission”) decided:
1. To make prohibition orders under the Protection of Investors Law, the Banking Law, the Fiduciary Law and the Insurance Laws. These orders prohibit Ms Harbour from acting as a director, controller, partner, manager, general representative or authorised insurance representative in:
(a) a controlled investment business;
(b) a deposit-taking business;
(c) a fiduciary business which undertakes regulated activities; and
(d) an insurance business or the business of an insurance manager or an insurance intermediary and
2. To make this public statement under section 11C of the Financial Services Commission Law.
The Commission considered it reasonable and necessary to make these decisions having concluded that Ms Harbour was not a fit and proper person to be a director, controller, partner, manager, general representative or authorised insurance representative in a regulated financial services business in Guernsey.
The background to these decisions is that Ms Harbour provided false information to the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, including falsely claiming to hold a Master’s degree in Business Administration and to be a member of the Securities and Investment Institute. Ms Harbour showed a lack of integrity in informing the Commission, in Personal Questionnaire forms and elsewhere, that she held those qualifications/memberships.
Ms Harbour also failed to disclose in Personal Questionnaire forms that she had previously been known by another name. She gave the Commission birth dates of 22 November 1960 and 22 November 1959 which are both at variance with records recording her birth, marriages and bonds relating to real property.
