MBEs for David Vick & John Aspden

David was at the helm of the IPA for 13 years and retired last year when the body merged with the FSC, forming the island's new regulator, the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority.

Mr Vick is credited with playing a leading role in developing a regulatory framework for the sector, a major contributor to the Island's economy and is a continued supporter of the local institute's work.

John was with the FSC for 17 years until his retirement last year.

His citation highlights his role enhancing the Island's position as a well regulated finance centre - work which saw him heavily involved in external reviews by the International Monetary Fund and other bodies.
