This year’s Best Dressed Business awards have gone to Head Candy and Monsoon.
Organised by Douglas Development Partnership the two-category competition - independent and chain store - saw retailers dress their windows to impress.
A photo of each entry was taken then posted on the partnership’s Facebook page and the public invited to cast their votes.
Sponsored by Manx Radio and Gallery magazine the independent category saw hair salon Head Candy in Market Hill win a full-page advertising space in the magazine plus a year’s free on-air advertising, while in the chain store class, Monsoon topped the poll to win a donation of £200 to the charity of their choice sponsored by Douglas Development Partnership.
Town centre manager Michelle O’Malley says the response to the online photo album of entries was very enthusiastic, with more than 3000 likes received, almost double the number of votes in 2013.
