The leader of Cornwall Council, Cllr Linda Taylor, has announced a change to her Cabinet.
Cllr Louis Gardner will step down as the portfolio holder for the economy at the end of this week in order to take up role as Head of Future Air and Space at Cornwall Airport Newquay.
His portfolio will be covered by Cllr Taylor.
Cllr Taylor said: “I am sorry to see Louis step down, he has been a tireless champion for the business community in Cornwall since he took on the role in 2022. He will bring a wealth of political and defence experience to this new role."
“With just a few weeks left until the election I have decided to oversee the portfolio until then and will ensure we continue to work every day to build the thriving, sustainable Cornwall we all want."
Cllr Gardner said: “It has been a real honour to serve on the Cabinet for the past three years, and I am proud of the work we have done to build a Cornwall where people can start well, live well and age well."
