Steve Moore, head of the governor’s office in the Cayman Islands has announced Cayman Islands Governor H.E. Duncan Taylor will get to spend an extra year here following the extension of his contract by the United Kingdom’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

“The Governor will therefore be here until January 2014,” said Steve Moore.

Although Governor Taylor has no special reasons for the extra year, he did request it.

Normally, Cayman governors, who are appointed by Her Majesty, the Queen of England, serve for three years. Mr. Taylor, who arrived in mid-January 2010, would normally have completed his contract by next January.
