Minerva worked closely in a coordinated approach as part of the global advisory teams working for Caledonia in the planning and execution phases of the re-domiciliation.

Mark Learmonth, CFO and Director of Caledonia commented: “The redomiciliation of Caledonia to Jersey is a further step in simplifying our corporate structure. Our head office is now located in Jersey which is more centrally located with the area of our business operations in Zimbabwe and our shareholder based in Europe, the UK, South Africa and North America.
