Former DCLG official takes Shetlands finance role
0Shetland Islands Council has appointed a former central government finance officer as its new finance manager.
Jamie Mason will join the council after leaving his last role as director of resources for the Ascension Island Government.
Before that, he was finance advisor and business manager for the Department for Communities and Local Government, responsible as lead finance business partner for the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Regional Growth Fund, and earlier as finance business partner for the ERDF’s neighbourhoods directorate.
Mason said: “I have, in the past, enjoyed being responsible for a range of services covering many different aspects of finance and policy.
“This role also gives me the chance to live in another spectacular part of the world – and after three years of almost constant sunshine, I’m looking forward to somewhere with a more moderate climate!”
