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:
Treasury minister 'hopes' businesses will pass on VAT reductions to customers
TT 'massive' for hospitality industry
Hopes summer VAT cuts will ease cost of living pressures for families and businesses
'The TT is our crown jewel' says caterer
