Tynwald Mills could be in line for a boost in business as its new owners talk to big-name stores about moving to the Island.

Sandpiper CI announced it had bought the St John's shopping centre yesterday for an undisclosed amount.

Sandpiper's managing director Tony O'Neill says he's already talking to brands about coming to the Isle of Man:
