“I wish to take this opportunity to pay tribute to all of the public servants on the Island.  Throughout my time here, they have constantly impressed me with their dedication and hard work. I am proud to have been a part of such a great team. I wish them well.”

Chief Minister Alfred Cannan MHK said: “The Council of Ministers and I would like to thank Mr Greenhow for his service to successive governments since choosing the Island as his home in 1999.
