Richard Prosser

Trustee

Richard graduated with a Zoology degree; after two years working overseas in the field he moved to Jersey, pursuing a career change as a Chartered Accountant. Since qualifying as an FCA he has been involved in the finance industry, being appointed to boards of listed and unlisted companies, some as Chair. He has experience of strategic discussions at multi-jurisdictional levels, always enjoying a good working relationship with fellow board members, both executive and non-executive. As a non-executive, Richard is well versed in managing the balance between supporting and challenging the executive team. A passionate Durrell supporter, Richard has been a zoo member for many years and a Gardien since 2020. Enthusiastic about education and the Trust’s projects globally, he has sponsored a DESMAN student and visited Madagascar to witness Durrell’s conservation work first-hand. Richard understands the continuing importance of the zoo locally as well as Durrell’s significant impact worldwide.
