The Island's Chamber of Commerce has launched a concierge service to support local businesses and entrepreneurs and those relocating to Manx shores.

The joint initiative with the Department for Enterprise - called Business Connex - will see the chamber act as a facilitator to help organisations and individuals connect with the right contacts on the Isle of Man.

President of the Chamber of Commerce, Chris Allen, is calling it a 'very exciting' project.

Meanwhile, Enterprise Minister, Laurence Skelly, says supporting the introduction and relocation of new businesses is 'essential' to the Island's economic growth.
