Our Team

Lorna Pestana

Group Executive Director
Lorna’s strengths in dealing with strategic and operational HR issues have developed during more than 35 years in the industry, with most of that time spent in senior positions.

A Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD) and a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), and a member of the International Coaching Federation. Lorna lists employment law, training and development and advising on all employment and HR-related matters among her key strengths. 

She joined Law At Work in 2016 and contributes to the strategic direction of the company, after ten years with the Guiton Group as Head of HR. Lorna uses her wealth of knowledge to train and develop others. She is a qualified trainer and executive coach and is now responsible for the HR team at Law At Work and the Law At Work Training Academy. In addition, she provides a range of bespoke and open training courses on leadership and management, HR and people management, and delivered the CIPD and CMI courses at Highlands College.

She was Chair of the Jersey branch of CIPD for a three-year term and held the positions of Board Member of Jersey Advisory & Conciliation Service (JACS), Chair of the Chamber of Commerce HR and Employment committee, and Board Member of Jersey Employment Trust (JET).

After all her weekly visits to Guernsey, Lorna made the move permanently in September 2025 and now heads up our local office on the island. She is currently a Board Member of the Guernsey Employment Trust.

Lorna is the Secretary of The Neil Hussey Heart Charity and her local residents committee. A mother of two (now adult) children, she loves travel so much that she’s itching to book her next trip as soon as she’s back from holiday.
