The chief executive of the Department of Economic Development says he believes he's well placed to help with the development of a democratic government on Sark.
Colin Kniveton is taking up the role of chief secretary of the smallest of the Channel Islands from November 1 for four months.
Mr Kniveton says having had roles in both the private and public sectors on another small Island communty, he's seen as being a safe pair of hands to oversee change on Sark, which has a population of around 600:
More commuter trains to be offered amid bus strikes
Post Office reports stronger profits but warns of major changes
More than 1,200 abortions on Island since change in law
Teenagers praised for litter-picking efforts
