A gift shop from Port Erin has been selected as a finalist in The British Independent Retailers Association Awards.

Mantons Cards is one of three companies from across the UK to make it to the final in the Retail Team of the Year category.

It's the only Manx company to ever reach the final - the winners will be announced on May 8th.

Owner Chris Beads says with regeneration work currently affecting the area it's "fantastic motivation" for the team and shows Port Erin is still "very much open for business".
