A new Island company is set to sponsor a popular event in the Island capital later this year.

Monthly Advance Loans (MAL) opened for business in January and has confirmed it will be the title sponsor of the Thriller in the Villa fundraiser taking place in October.

Thriller in the Villa, now in its sixth year, pits 32 local contestants against each other in three two-minute rounds of boxing and has raised over £140,000 for local charities and organisations.

This year the occasion will be supporting Rebecca House and Craig's Heartstrong Foundation.
