Retired IoM Bank MD standing in Middle
A general election candidate says his background in banking, particularly as a managing director, means he wouldn't have a problem making difficult decisions, if elected.
Bill Shimmins had the top post at Isle of Man Bank before retiring earlier this year.
Residing in Glen Vine for the last 13 years, he's standing in the constituency of Middle.
Mr Shimmins points to the time he chose to shut a number of the bank's branches as an example of doing something deemed necessary, if unpopular:
Island warned to expect heavy rain this afternoon
Jurby landowner working with planning and Bus Vannin on future shelter provision
'We wouldn’t have it any other way’
Ramsey Tesco to 'open as normal' following incident
