​

He is a trustee of several Gibraltar charities including his family’s own charitable trust, the Peter J Isola Foundation. 

The Hon Albert Isola CBE is a Senior Partner of Isolas LLP, continuing a family legacy of lawyers tracing its roots to 1892.   

 

He served as a Minister of Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar, elected in 2013 and successfully re-elected in 2015 and 2019 before retiring in 2023. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the financial and digital industries in Gibraltar, Albert was appointed a Commander of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) by King Charles III in January 2024.

 

Most significantly in his years of service he drove the establishment of the Government owned but independently run Gibraltar International Bank and introduced the world’s first legal and regulatory framework for the Distributed Ledger Technology sector in 2018.

 

Since 2006, he has shared responsibility for the Peter J. Isola Foundation, established to honor the extraordinary lives and dedicated service of his parents, Peter J. Isola OBE and Rose Isola MBE (50 years with the Red Cross). Driven by a deep sense of social responsibility, Albert’s commitment to supporting local charities is the foundation's core mission, continuing his family's legacy of community engagement. 

Lawrence Isola is the CEO of Europort (International) Holdings Limited, Co-Founder and Chairman of Broadband Gibraltar Limited (also known as Sapphire Networks), and Co-Founder and Chairman of the BMI Group. He also sits on the boards of several property-related companies and was a founding member of the Fiduciary Group, established with his brother Peter in 1982.

 

With a career rooted in property, Lawrence has played his part in shaping some of Gibraltar’s real estate landscape. Starting as a real estate broker through Fiduciary Property Services Ltd, he went on to lead major developments. His early contributions include introducing and managing Gardiners View, a Wimpey Homes project, in the early 1980s, followed by Portland House which was completed in 1991.

​

He has since led the family’s investments in many of Gibraltar’s landmark developments, including Europlaza, Atlantic Suites, Kings Wharf, The Primary Care Centre, and One Bayside. He also drove the development of Europort which has become one of Gibraltar’s leading commercial hubs.

 

In the tech space, Lawrence drove Broadband Gibraltar, which brought much-needed competition and high-speed internet. By laying fibre infrastructure through the frontier between Gibraltar and Spain and up to Madrid he helped support the growth of Gibraltar’s online gaming industry—a key sector of the economy. The company also introduced Gibraltar’s first fibre-to-the-home services under the brand of U-Mee.
