Sponsored by Bell & Co — Alderney’s leading estate agent, helping people find their place on the island.Andrew Eggleston first came to Alderney in the 1970s after his father spotted an article about the island while working at The Times. What started as a family move soon became a lifelong home, and by 1978 Andrew was helping to run Bell & Co — the business that still carries his name today.Nearly fifty years on, Bell & Co remains a true family firm with Andrew’s daughter Beth, his wife Janet, and a loyal team who’ve stayed for decades. Alongside it, Andrew has spent twenty years as President of the Chamber of Commerce, helping to shape the island’s economy and support local business.In this episode we talk about growing up between London and Alderney, why Bell & Co “sells the island first and the house second”, the quirks of small-island life from cobbles to bunker parties, what really draws people to relocate here, and the Chamber’s push for change — from leasehold lending to a new marina. We also cover Alderney politics, royal visits, and why safety and community spirit still set this place apart.It’s a conversation about family, resilience, and why Alderney is still “a living museum” worth fighting for.“We’re lucky. We haven’t made it — it just fell into our laps. And we appreciate it.”LET’S CONNECT 👇Listen on Apple Podcasts:http://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/...Listen on Spotify:http://open.spotify.com/show/7lHojlnW...Instagram:/ camcairnduffLinkedIn:/ camcairnduffTikTok:/ camcairnduffFacebook:/ cameronfilmsYouTube:/ @camcairnduff
