No, he's the top banana: You may be getting confused with the four Chief Executives under him in that most prolific of job creation schemes.

Twitch Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Lewin is the DFE Chief Executive and there are 4 Chief Executives across the DFE agencies. You can’t have too many cooks that department obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty certain that is just an out of date page. The CEO became CO earlier this year when they restructured to have the new dude as CEO across everything. Like I said, it was just being pedantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think anyone can. Custody block at Douglas. But we had to break some norms. Saved ninety grand in design fees by letting Wernick design it! Which was all on CAD . Good team, regular meetings, right first time philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projects are over budget world wide and across all public and private sectors since 2019. It’s not an issue unique to Isle of Man or the government.

Oh we were fucking up projects looong before those excuses breezed into town! Lower Douglas Police Station is a case in point. Custody suite on first floor. Van Dock which took more than one van side off. It cost a nosebleed amount of money. Ah, and Jurby Medical Centre. Two point five million chuffing pounds!

Lower Douglas was just a cluster from start to finish. Another edifice to incompetence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I retrofit something to a Dandara house after it’s signed off and I take ownership that stops me using a room it doesn’t mean the project to build the house went wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the design was found wanting and had additional work felt needed to make it suitable then that is a flaw in the design. And how do you know it had been signed off as the works were carried out from memory pretty quick after completion of the block. Derek claimed that the design saved them a sum of money but clearly it wasn’t as he claimed. Guess it’s my turn to deal with the ‘CrazyDave’ logic.

The Voice of Reason Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 2 hours ago, Non-Believer said: Ashford claims during Keys coverage (3FM News) that just 10 minutes of his own online research proved that Cube was virtually insolvent at the time of their appointment as merchandise contractor. Which is not rocket science to do. But the fact that he actually did it where others didn’t ( or chose to ignore it if they did) just reinforces the fact that we need him back in a ministerial position. I know he’s not popular because certain people, not least on this forum think he has a physical resemblance to Dracula. But he is more capable than most of his fellow MHK’s I await the inevitable abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
