Gordon Geoffrey WetherellCMG (born 11 November 1948) is a British diplomat who was the former Governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands.[1] He was appointed on 5 August 2008, replacing Richard Tauwhare in the position. On 14 August 2009, he assumed direct political control when the British government imposed direct rule on the islands in response to a Foreign Office inquiry which found "information in abundance pointing to a high probability of systematic corruption or serious dishonesty" in the islands' administration under former Premier, Michael Misick.[2]
Governor Wetherell's last official meeting in office was with the Advisory Council on 11 August 2011, in Grand Turk.[7] Wetherell departed the Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, on Sunday, 21 August 2011, ending his term as governor.[7]
