A member of the Isle of Man Government’s recruitment team is retiring after more than two decades working in the public service.

Neil, who has worked in the team at the Office of Human Resources and previously the Personnel Office, is stepping down after more than 20 years in the role.

Colleagues have paid tribute to his contribution and described him as a familiar and friendly face to many people who have dealt with the team over the years.

A spokesperson from Isle of Man Public Service Careers commented: ‘His contribution to recruitment has been hugely appreciated and it certainly won’t be the same without him.

‘We’ll miss having Neil as part of the team but we wish him a very happy and well-deserved retirement.’
