The new member of the Legislative Council takes up his role at the Department of Economic Development in earnest today (Tuesday), as government business resumes following the Christmas break.
Tony Wild, who has held senior positions at Lloyds TSB and Standard Bank, was appointed to the department shortly after being elected to LegCo, just as the festive season began.
Mr Wild has said he is keen to use his business experience to help grow the Isle of Man's economy.
Chief Minister Allan Bell is confident he has much to contribute:
RTLC defends taxi tariff changes
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Ministers to meet with LVA to discuss hospitality concerns
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Trade is good, but it's still a struggle to make a profit, says local business
Villiers Square development plans approved
