Gillian Guy, CBE

Chief Executive, Citizens Advice

Gillian Guy has been chief executive of independent charity Citizens Advice since 2010. Aiming to be ‘a voice for people who are not being heard’, the charity plays a crucial role in the provision of advice to members of society on legal, financial and other issues, and frequently influences decision makers through its research and lobbying. Guy trained as a lawyer and was previously CEO of Victim Support. Following government cuts to legal aid, the Citizens Advice Bureau plays an ever more important role in providing access to both legal and social advice and in influencing government policy. Guy has expressed particular concern over the effect of cuts on domestic abuse victims, and has also highlighted the danger posed by rogue landlords in a growing private rental sector.
