Ralphs Resigns

Andy Ralphs, Chief Executive Officer of the Isle of Man Government, has announced his resignation.

His last day in the role will be March 31, 2025.

Mr Ralphs, who took on the role in November 2023 following a period of upheaval in the civil service, said: ‘It has been a privilege to lead the public service over the last 18 months and it has not been an easy decision to reach.

‘However, following the bereavement of a close family member I need to take some time out before moving on to a new challenge, and importantly will continue to live and contribute to the island that is now my home.’

The Chief Minister has thanked Mr Ralphs for his contributions.

Mark Lewin, currently Chief Officer at the Department for Enterprise, will serve as interim Chief Executive from April 1, 2025.
