Mr R.I.S. Phillips. Clerk of ’s Office. Legislative Buildings. Douglas.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ELECTION 12/03/2020.

Dear Mr Phillips,

I would like to propose Mr Tim Crookall at the forthcoming Legislative Council Elections on March 12th.

Mr Crookall has a wealth of experience having been elected to the in 2006 following nearly 16years as a Peel Town Commissioner. He was successfully re-elected in 2011. In 2015 he was elected to the Legislative Council.

He has an impressive Government and Parliamentary CV. He has been a member of the Department of Home Affairs, the Departments of Transport and Infrastructure, the Local Government and Environment and the Department for Environment, Food and Agriculture.

He has also served as Vice Chairman of the Office of Fair Trading between 2007 - 2009, Chairman of the Water Authority from 2009 - 2010 and then became Chairman of the newly formed Water and Sewerage Authority for 2010 - 2011.

In 2011 following being re-elected as an MHK Mr Crookall joined the Council of Ministers as the Minister for the Department of Community Culture and Leisure. A position he held until 2012 when he was asked to take over and become Minister for the Department of Education and Children. He held this position until October 2016 following the General Election.

In 2016 he then joined the Department for Enterprise and is the political member working with the Business Agency and has responsibilities for Work Permits. He also became the Vice Chairman at the Manx Utilities Authority in the same year.

Mr Crookall has served on numerous Standing and Select Committees since 2006 and since 2016 has been the Vice Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.

He has represented the Island on Parliamentary duties at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conferences and at the British and Irish Parliamentary Assembly meetings at home and abroad.

Speaking personally, over the last 4 years I have found Mr Crookall to be 100% committed and dedicated to the role and totally without fear or favour. He is always very approachable and supportive and he will always find the time to help or provide advice or guidance wherever and whenever possible, whether to Tynwald colleagues or within the wider Manx community. At a time of potentially significant changes of Tynwald members’roles I personally think it is invaluable to try and maintain some of the corporate experience and cultural and collective memory of senior members during this transitionary period.

During his pre-Parliamentary career Tim spent many years building his life skills in various careers. From working in the fish and coal yards of Peel as a child, policing in the U.K., working in the Mental Health arena at Ballamona Hospital and at Residential Day Care Centres for the DHSS, in leisure/sports centres here and in England and working in the building industry for over a decade. He is also proud to be actively involved with several charities and clubs in the Island community.

I have welcomed the experience, help, guidance and openness that Mr Crookall has offered while we have worked together and I know others have as well and I am pleased to be able to nominate him for re- election to the Legislative Council.

CONTACT DETAILS. Timothy Mark CROOKALL. [Contact details redacted]

Yours sincerely

Rob Callister MHK (Onchan).
