THE government-run Manx Electricity Authority (MEA) has announced two new faces on its board.
Following approval by Tynwald last week, the new members are Bill Mummery and Mike Coleman.
The appointments come after the retirement of Ken Tomlinson, while existing members John Reid and Steve Christian have been reappointed. Elsewhere, Eddie Lowey MLC remains MEA chairman, and John Houghton MHK remains deputy chairman.
Mr Lowey said: ‘I am very pleased that we have retained the services of two members who were first appointed in 2005 and who bring with them much experience about the MEA and the challenges it faces. I would also like to pay tribute to retiring MEA member Ken Tomlinson, who has worked tirelessly for the board during his tenure and we wish him well in his retirement.’
He added: ‘We look forward to welcoming Mike Coleman and Bill Mummery. Mike Coleman comes from an engineering and finance background, as well as being an experienced board member at the Water and Sewarage Authority, while Bill Mummery – who is well-known as managing director of Celton Manx – has a solid background in technology which will provide excellent support for our business development.’
