Michael Crowe has become the Chamber of Commerce’s new president.
He took over from Mike Shaw, who ended his two-year term at the chamber’s annual meeting.
The new president outlined some of chamber’s priorities for the coming months: to work with government to ensure our workforce is equipped with the skills they need to support the primary sectors of our economy; working to ensure government procurement policy adequately addresses the considerable benefits of keeping their spending on island and maintaining stable transport links.
Issues such as minimum wage, work permits, government spending, town centre planning and economic development are all on chamber’s agenda.
Micky Swindale was elected vice president, which will lead in two years to chamber’s first woman president.
Sarah Sanders was elected treasurer and Bill Shimmins was elected to chamber council.
