The hearts of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas (The Bahamas) were made heavy upon learning of the passing of Sir William Allen, KCMG. And the hearts of the Fidelity Group were made even heavier, as we bid farewell to Sir William, a cherished member of the Fidelity family.
Sir William was an integral part of the transformation of the Fidelity Group, particularly in The Bahamas, which commenced in the early 2000s and the successes of the Fidelity Group thereafter serving as a director of the entire group and chairman of Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Limited.
His charisma and kindness led to Sir William not only being a leader of those charged with governance of the Fidelity Group, but also a mentor and counsellor for many members of the management team. And even following his retirement from the Fidelity Group, he certainly remained a fountain of wisdom, experience and expertise from which the Fidelity Group could regularly quench its thirst for such valuable input.
Sir William’s intellect, steadfast approach and calmness all contributed to his successes in public life over a long and illustrious professional life, comprising his roles as a monetary policymaker and fiscal policymaker.
All who knew and worked with him clearly understood that while he was not a man that used his voice to publicly chastise those that were deserving of such chastisement, his voice was going to be heard nevertheless, as he strongly encouraged those who should know better, to simply do better; and for those who may not know better, he spent the time ensuring they were taught better.
The Board of Directors, executive management and team members of the Fidelity Group express their deepest condolences to Lady Allen and their children, and the wider Allen family, and assure them of our thoughts and prayers.
He may no longer be with us physically, but his presence and legacy will forever be stitched in the fabric of the Fidelity Group.
