An Accidental Envoy is a Memoir covering the period 1990 to 2005 during which I was involved with the Turks & Caicos Islands, initially as one of a team of consultants charged with devising a strategy to lift that small Caribbean nation, a British Dependent Territory, out of its dependency then successively as Director of Tourism, Superintendent of Banking & Offshore Finance and Government Representative in London.
In it I have tried to capture some of the atmosphere of what was a very exhilarating period in the history of the Turks & Caicos.
This is a Personal Memoir and is naturally subjective.
During that time I made many good friends and a few enemies, had much enjoyment and an acceptable level of stress.
It was a time of great change in TCI during which it went from hopeless dependence on the UK to thriving economic independence.
