For the 2025-26 Municipal Year, the holder of the office is Mr Councillor Steven Crellin, JP.
In 2021, I was elected as a councillor for Douglas South and successfully re-elected in 2025. During my time in office, I have actively engaged in several committees, serving as both a member and vice chair of the Housing & Property Committee and the Regeneration & Community Committee. Additionally, I have contributed as a member of the Pensions Committee and held the position of chair for the Standards Committee. I also had the honour of being the Mayor's Consort for Councillor Janet Thommeny and the Deputy Mayor for Councillor Natalie Byron-Teare.
On a personal note, I am married to Samantha Crellin, who has been a tremendous support throughout my journey. Together, we are proud parents of five children and grandparents to 14 grandchildren, who keep us engaged and involved with various family activities throughout the year.
Professionally, I bring over 40 years of experience in the construction and civil engineering industry. I began my career in the construction sector, working for 18 years as a professional project manager and clerk of works, primarily on a freelance basis. I then transitioned to the Department of Transport (now known as the Department of Infrastructure), where I started as a manual worker and advanced to the role of project engineer/project manager, serving for 25 years. To dedicate more time to my council duties and better serve the constituents of Douglas South, I retired from the Department of Infrastructure on November 30, 2024.
In my leisure time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family and grandchildren. Additionally, I have a keen interest in motorcycle racing and riding bikes.
