Mark Shimmin to head up prestigious management programme

The Island’s former chief financial officer says he’s thrilled to have been appointed head of a widely acclaimed management programme.

Mark Shimmin will succeed Tim Cullen as executive director of the Small Countries Financial Management Programme later this summer.

The Manx government-funded scheme brings tangible assistance to developing small countries around the world.

Mr Shimmin says he wants to build on the good work carried out over the past five years.
