Visit Isle of Man has welcomed Andrew Mackness as the new independent Non-Executive Chair of its Agency Board.
Mackness will replace Ranald Caldwell as chair of the board.
Joining him are three newly appointed volunteer Board Members:
- Andrew Jamieson (Chief Operating Officer, Opul Solutions)
- Dr Florida Clements (Lecturer and Programme Leader, University College Isle of Man)
- Steven Taylor (Managing Director, Okells Inns)
Departing Board Members are Richard Fletcher, David Curtis-Brignell MBE and Brett Martin.
New Chair
The Non-Executive Board, now led by Andrew Mackness, will continue working closely with the Visit Agency’s CEO, Deborah Heather, and political member, Sarah Maltby MHK, alongside the existing volunteer Board Members.
Andrew Mackness, originally from the North-West of England, moved to the Island two years ago with his wife, where they now run a consultancy business serving clients in both the Isle of Man and the UK.
With a background as a commercial pilot and 42 years of senior leadership experience in the retail, service and property sectors, Andrew is also the Chair and major shareholder of St Andrews Lakes, a leisure destination in the South-East of England.
The new Chair and volunteer Board Members were inducted at their first Board Meeting on September 13.
