Former top civil servant Tim Craine has been appointed to the board of an international corporate service provider.
Mr Craine, the island’s former head of business development within the Department of Economic Development, has been appointed a non-executive director at Isle of Man headquartered Cavendish Trust.
Two highly experienced Jersey-based English solicitors, William Bennett and Paul Egerton-Vernon have taken up executive director positions with the organisation.
Mr Craine took early retirement in April after a 34 year career within the Civil Service but has kept his word on a statement he made at the time that he was looking forward to pursuing fresh business opportunities.
His former Government role, which included responsibility for space commerce and eGaming, are two niche sectors with which Cavendish has developed strong links in recent years.
He said: ‘I am now looking forward to working alongside the team at Cavendish in a non-exec capacity and doing all I can to assist the company in pursuit of its business objectives.’
English Solicitors William Bennett and Paul Egerton-Vernon can draw upon nearly 70 years combined legal and trust company expertise.
Cavendish Trust managing director James Cunningham-Davis said the new appointments were a major step forward in taking the company to its next stage of development.
