A key figure in the Association of Corporate Service Providers has moved to a new job in the Tynwald offices.

The departure of Marie Lambden as Executive Officer to join the office of the Clerk of Tynwald sees Antonia King taking her place at the ACSP.

ACSP chairman Phil Dearden said: "We’re sorry to be losing Marie after nine years. She has been instrumental in helping raise the profile of what was a fledgling organisation in the early days and is now one of the Island’s most active trade organisations".

Mrs King has been appointed executive officer and company secretary to the Association of Corporate Service Providers. She will take up her appointment at the end of August.

She has worked at HM Treasury in London for more than seven years in areas including financial and public services and European finance, and served as Private Secretary to the Treasury’s Economic Secretary.

She lives in Port St Mary and was a former Head Girl at Castle Rushen.
