Hawker steps down after 21 years in civil service
The deputy chief executive of the Department for Enterprise is leaving government.
Carl Hawker says he's taking a 'career break'.
Chief Minister Alfred Cannan is currently the acting minister for the department - after Dr Alex Allinson moved to Treasury following the former minister's resignation.
The DfE says there are no plans to recruit for the role of deputy chief executive with his duties being picked up by other staff instead.
Time to announce that after 21 years I'll be leaving the Isle of Man Government next week. Very grateful to have been able to have made a difference for the community which is my home. Next a career break, some family time and then - something new that excites and motivates me.
