Return of construction broadly supported, survey says

Businesses have broadly supported the recent return of the construction industry, according to recent survey.

According to statistics from the Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce's latest business impact tracker - held between April 24 and May 1 - 88 per cent of those who responded were widely in favour of government's move to allow the sector to go back to work.

Meanwhile, of the 222 companies which took part in this most recent survey, 89 per cent said they had no plans to make any permanent reductions in their workforce.

However, cash flow still remains a concern - with 37 per cent stating they had between one and three months of reserves, 17 per cent had only a month whilst 15 per cent say they have no reserves at all.
