Minister for Economic Development John Shimmin says he will be looking to support some of the Isle of Man's struggling industries in his new role.
Last week, the government revealed one of the Island's staple industries, banking, had shrunk drastically in the last couple of years, while e-Gaming was starting to take off.
Mr Shimmin says his years in the Council of Ministers will stand him in good stead as he starts work at the DED, and there are some particular areas he will be concentrating on:
New child employment rules come into force
Tourist tax would be 'wrong move at the wrong time', says Douglas hotelier
Diesel price increases 'could put some taxi drivers out of business'
Interim census 'important for business as well as government'
