Lord Neil Gibson Project Lesotho

Country Development Partnerships (CDP), launched in 2000, are agreements between the Government, the World Bank, and other partners to work together on specific challenges identified by the Government in its development agenda such as gaining a better understanding of the nature and causes of poverty, or supporting reforms in the financial sector. The agreements are outlined as three-year programs, based on sound research and analysis, specifying what will be done, who will do it, where the funding and other resources will come from, and how success will be measured. Each CDP is led by the Government with support from other stakeholders, including the Bank and other donors. The CDP also serves as a vehicle for engaging civil society, the private sector, and other partners in the policy design, implementation, and monitoring process. Depending on where support is needed, the Bank’s engagement in a CDP can take the form of analytical and advisory activities, technical assistance, donor coordination, and/or partnerships. In addition, as appropriate, investment projects can selectively support implementation. The CDP involving stability development require partnerships which can fulfill the direct needs of the people of Lesotho without the need to exploit the country and it's resources. Such agreements have been forged with Twin Peaks to provide a strategy which will benefit all parties involved. Twin Peaks allows application of groups which feel they are able to provide guided assistance needed for growth through financial and spiritual support.

Lord Neil Gibson, Humanitarian

Lord Gibson chairman of the Alder Group of companies, the Gibson Family Trust and  a diverse multinational business empire.
He is a man of grace and charm with an incisive mind, a gift for leadership and a deep and active interest in the arts. By nature quiet and retiring, he is wonderful company and a born raconteur, choosing his words with effortless precision and delivering them in a voice that is soft and unusually melodious. He has a discerning eye for architecture, gardens and works of art. But, his great love is for business and international finance for developing nations.

There is also a strong streak of determination in his character and a steely impatience with bluster or humbug which make him a formidable negotiator. As a chairman, he had few equals, using his natural gifts in both large gatherings and around a table to steer discussion, defuse tension and win support with the skill and elegance of a professional. All these gifts he provides to his family organisations, prominent in the worlds of both business and the arts, which he served and led with notable success through turbulent years of social and political change.

Neil Benjamin Gibson is born in 1963 to parents who were accomplished community leaders and who met while studying in Yorkshire. He might have pursued a career in music, but instead, after College, he chose to follow his father as a stockbroker. This proved unfulfilling, but the world political instability intervened and, as for so many of his generation, it determined the course of his life.

In 1998 he was commissioned into the diplomatic corps and fought against the insurgence in West Africa. Two years later, ECOWAS stabilized and the leaders of several countries extended their gratitude by honoring him with full diplomatic resolution and he resigned his post to the United Kingdom.

Following his tenure with the Foreign and Commonwealth diplomatic corps, Lord Gibson returned to England and has regained control of his family trust and was bestowed his title as Lord of the manor of Wheldrake and Warter Priory. Lord Gibson has carried on his family tradition of philanthropic community services and resides as High Lord of the Knights Templar.

Lord Gibson has developed and nurtured many business and political allies around the globe, which encompass the members of his companies. Through creative investment strategies and the help of well established businesses, Lord Gibson is able to maintain the Alder Group of companies. This multinational group is comprised of financial institutions, technology, communications and global philanthropists. The Alder Group of companies is recognized internationally for its’ ability to conduct business in regions of the world which most multinational firms are limited by their founding domiciliation.

These groups of companies provide much needed infrastructure for developing nations which are usually amidst local and international instability or sovereign control. His lordship thrives on the challenges set forth by the circumstances which are usually outset from a level of control. Once again, following in his fathers footsteps to help make the world a better place by improving quality of life.

Lord Neil Gibson resides on the board of both private and public sector companies and is a true community developer. His demand for increased world economics sets him apart from an average business owner which is only interested in bottom line profits. The ethics which he brings to the public sector creates a rule of standard for many to follow, as well as complete accountability. His lordship is a governing member of several boards of trust for the arts, community development and social welfare all without compensation

Lord Neil Gibson – Victim of an Internet Stalker


Lord Neil Gibson is a humanitarian and financier. In the course of his every week he meets all kinds of people – from lobbyists for needy charities to asset holders who have billions of dollars in assets they wish to trade. According to Neil he will get over 400 emails on a standard day. He has 7 meetings a day arranged, and that is when he is not flying from one side of the planet to the other.

If you are that busy, every now and again you’ll meet a bad egg. Someone will say they have assets which do not exist or are from a source you’d be better not dealing with.

Lord Gibson has several times come across such people, who are often desperate and will go to extreme lengths to pretend that they are real. This may be because they are desperate to get rid of a bad debt or perhaps they have promised unrealistic results to a fellow trader.

Unfortunately for Neil, one such ne’er-do-well contacted him. As a result Neil worked with the US authorities to put him away. The man was found guilty and served his time. 

Alas, when the man got out of jail and tried to pick up the pieces he turned bitter and started pursuing Neil. This resulted in a court case which Neil Gibson won. This victory made the pursuer even bitterer.

Lord Neil Gibson spends many hours of his week trying to make the world a better place, so it’s not as if he should put the encounter down to karma. He believes that in fact the Internet is to blame. In the past it was not so easy for anybody to post slanderous comments online in minutes which get acknowledged worldwide in seconds.

Internet defamation laws are gradually changing for the better but right now while spending millions on a libel case in London your Internet stalker can be posting thousands of defamatory posts about you online. People are getting better at hiding the trail; using IP address hiders and Internet cafes.

So, libel cases are outmoded and a waste of money; especially when your pursuer has spent time in jail and has lost all his money in the process.

Lord Neil Gibson is not phased. He knows he is not how the Internet stalker portrays him.
Lord Gibson continues to work as a humanitarian and currently presides over billions in assets across three continents. It’s just part of being who he is that one man has decided to write and post loads of tosh about him online.
