Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Expanded eligibility and increased funding for support schemes
Mann Made Festival can get 'bigger and bigger'
Vendors praise event which has returned to the TT for its second year
Treasury minister 'hopes' businesses will pass on VAT reductions to customers
Falling from 20% to 5% for certain activities over summer
TT 'massive' for hospitality industry
Local businesses prepare for race week
