Esq., C.B.E., Q.C. - Chairman


Owner of the Law Firm Lewis and Renwick, Mr. St. Bernard became a Barrister-at-Law of Grays Inn London and was called to the Local Bar in 1951 and has been in private practice since 1951 and was appointed a Queen's Counsel in June 1996. Mr. St. Bernard has served continuously as a director on the Board of Directors of the Bank for more than thirty years. He has been chairman of the Board of Directors since the death of Mr. George Williams the then chairman in October 2000.

Mr. St. Bernard feels that the Bank continues to make commendable progress and development in a general sense and this was reflected in the 23% increase in profits in 2005 over those for the year 2004 and this despite the effects of the two devastating hurricanes. The Bank is performing very creditably in spite of the increasingly very competitive field in which it has to operate.

Mr. St. Bernard's vision for the Bank is that it will continue to aim at and achieve the objective in its mission statement to become the leading provider of High Quality financial and related services not only to Grenada and Grenadian individuals but also to local and international organizations.
