The Minister commented: ‘We are now at a significant point in the further development of our economy – with recovery from COVID ongoing and the creation of a new economic strategy underway to establish a framework for the Isle of Man’s long term vision. I’ve selected a team of members that have a wealth of experience in business and government to drive forward new policies, products and promotion for our Island.

‘I am extremely pleased that Rob has agreed to continue with his role as member for Visit Isle of Man. He has been an integral part of the Visit Agency since inception and has helped to support the industry throughout a very difficult period. His experience and commitment will be essential as we work to rebuild our visitor economy.

‘I am appreciative too that Peter has agreed to widen his remit as member for Finance Isle of Man into supporting Manx National Heritage and delighted that we have two new members joining the Department. Ann will be helping shape our response to the Island’s skills shortages – the single biggest challenge facing our businesses, and will also become a member on the Digital Isle of Man Agency who are progressing with a number of exciting new initiatives. Tim will bring his extensive experience across a number of sectors and businesses to the benefit of our diverse Business Agency as well as oversee the extensive support schemes we provide under Enterprise Support.’
