Tribute to former Member, Mr Martyn Quayle The Speaker: Hon. Members, before adjourning the House, it is my sad duty to announce the passing over the summer of our former colleague, George Martyn Quayle. Mr Quayle was born in 1959, the son of George Douglas Quayle, Captain of the Parish of Marown, and Elaine Evelyn (née Corrin). He was educated at St Ninian’s and Ballakermeen High Schools before joining the Civil Service. He then joined Isle of Man Farmers Ltd, rising to Company Secretary and Managing Director between 1986 and 2002. In the 2001 General Election, he was elected as Member of the House of Keys for Middle at his first attempt and he retained his seat at the 2006 General Election. During his time in Government, he served in positions in Tourism and Leisure, Trade and Industry, the Office of Fair Trading and Chairman of the Isle of Man Water Authority. During his second term, he served as Minister for Home Affairs, Tourism and Leisure and finally as Minister for Social Care. However, some Members will recall Martyn’s proud boast that one highlight of his political career was the front page of the Falkland Islands’ Penguin News following his visit there with the CPA in 2004. Martyn was a vigorous constituency MHK, a former chairman of the Young Farmers’ Club and Round Table, representing the Island in both organisations. He was also involved in Marown Football Club, Crosby Silver Band, Marown Royal Ploughing Match Society and many other community organisations. Martyn went into public service with a real sense it was part of his civic duty. He carried out every job he was asked to do with honesty and integrity, and we have lost a real gentleman in Manx politics. (Several Members: Hear, hear.) I would ask Hon. Members to stand with me for a moment’s silence. Members stood in silence. The Speaker: Thank you, Hon. Members. That concludes the business of the House today. May I remind you that nominations for the post of Chief Minister close at 5 p.m. today. Nominations should be given in writing to the Secretary of the House. Nominated candidates must hand their manifestos to the Secretary of the House by 5 p.m. on Thursday. The House will now stand adjourned until the next sitting, which will take place on 4th October in Tynwald Chamber for the election of the Chief Minister. Thank you. The House adjourned at 2.52 p.m. House Of Keys 27/09/2016 .

Tribute to former Member, Mr Martyn Quayle The President: Hon. Members, as we prepare to meet the challenges of the future, we now pause to remember the life and work of one who joined in accepting the challenges of the past, Martyn Quayle, former Member for Middle, our colleague and friend, who died on 26th August. I call upon the Hon. Member of Council, Mr Anderson. Mr Anderson: Thank you, Mr President, for the opportunity to pay tribute to George Martyn Quayle, who has tragically passed away since the last sitting of this Hon. Court. I know Mr Speaker has paid tribute in another place, but as being a Member of Tynwald was something he was especially proud of, it is fitting we should add a tribute in Tynwald Court today. Martyn was the youngest of three sons of George and Elaine Quayle, of the well-known farming family of Glenlough, Marown. Being the third son, he decided on a life in the Civil Service, but after a short time he went to work for the Isle of Man Farmers, at that time, the largest agricultural merchant on the Island, serving under Arnold Callin, then a Member of Tynwald, who no doubt cultivated Martyn’s already active political interest. In 1986, he succeeded Arnold Callin as general manager. Throughout his youth, he was a keen and active member of the Young Farmers’ movement and became chair of the Isle of Man Federation of Young Farmers and represented the Island at off- Island events. These started a lifelong involvement with the Young Farmers Ambassadors’ movement, with an exchange visit to an Austrian farming family, who became Martyn’s extended family.

A New Framework: The Sociotechnical Approach to Nation Branding Ruth MacKrell A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Liverpool John Moores University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2013 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Michel Leseure. It has been nothing short of an honour learning with you. Not only have you made my PhD experience productive and stimulating, but have also (inadvertently) improved my French. Your constant encouragement, belief in me, and kindness will never be forgotten. For this, in addition to a multitude of other reasons, I would like to thank you for being my mentor, but moreover, for being my friend. Secondly, my deepest gratitude goes to Kate, who as a truly valued friend and confidante, has always been a great source of motivation, laughter, inspiration and support. Your confidence in me has been a tremendous source of strength- for this I will forever be grateful. I would also like to thank Dr Yvonne Moogan, Dr Gloria Miller, Chris and Joan Robertshaw for their invaluable advice, for always leaving their doors open for me and providing me with new opportunities. Finally, I would like to thank James for never failing to provide me with much needed distraction and for always making me smile. To my wonderful parents, who in addition to actively encouraging me to realise my potential throughout my life, have never faltered in their moral (and financial) support. Sapere aude! December 2012. 2 Dedication If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from me.
