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:
Activities paused at Douglas RNLI as 'precautionary' step
Man to stand trial after denying wounding with intent to murder
'Meaningful change' needed to ensure long-term future of sidecars at TT
The future of bus travel?
