As part of the GFSB Wellness Series, members came together this week for Less Work. More Revenue., a practical workshop delivered by Jonny Cooper, with support from Infinity Group. The session focused on a simple premise: sustainable business performance comes from clarity, energy and better decision-making, not longer hours. Jonny shared practical tools aimed at helping business owners and leaders reduce friction, manage stress and improve focus, both at work and outside it.

The Women in Enterprise session on Negotiation and Knowing Your Worth was delivered and chaired by Krystle Robba, Registrar at the University of Gibraltar and WIE Board Member, and grounded firmly in lived experience rather than theory. Contributions came from Lianne Garcia, Head of Enterprise Services at Gibtelecom, and Danielle Victor, Senior Associate at ISOLAS LLP, bringing perspectives from tech, enterprise and litigation to the table.

The UK–EU treaty on Gibraltar is finally moving into its last, most practical (potentially toughest) phase. This week brought three clear signals at once: officials quietly discussing how the treaty would work in real life, political approval at Cabinet level, and growing attention on how EU border systems could interact with the treaty timetable.

HM Government of Gibraltar has launched the Gibraltar Start-Up Hub initiative, aimed at supporting early-stage businesses with affordable workspace and access to guidance and mentoring. The initiative was announced by the Minister for Health, Care and Business, the Hon. Gemma Arias-Vasquez MP, during her keynote address at the 2025 GFSB Annual Dinner.

Finding someone who listens, understands, and guides you can make all the difference. For women in Gibraltar, the Women’s Mentorship Programme offers just that; honest conversations and valuable support from people with lived experience who understand. Now in its seventh cycle, the programme pairs women with mentors to help them navigate work, life, and everything in between.

The Government has issued a formal corrigendum to the Litter Control (Amendment) Act 2024, clarifying who is liable for littering offences involving vehicles and strengthening enforcement against companies and their officers. The correction tightens accountability while removing unintended liability for certain vehicle owners. For businesses, especially those operating fleets, public service vehicles or company cars, the changes clarify exposure and raise the stakes for corporate responsibility.

I see it all the time. A business pours energy into social media posts, flyers, maybe even a splashy event, and then wonders why the phone isn’t ringing. It's easy to say the 'marketing isn't working' than to go a little deeper into the reason why conversions aren't up. Very, very often, the issue isn’t the tactic. It’s the lack of a strategy.

Dear Members, As we look ahead to 2026, we wanted to take a moment to speak to you directly about what lies ahead, what we know so far, and how the GFSB is supporting you through what will be an important year of change. Like many of you, we are hopeful that 2026 will finally bring publication and implementation of the Brexit treaty. That remains the single biggest milestone on the horizon. Not because it removes all uncertainty, but because it replaces limbo with a framework we can work within.
