Manx Telecom brought in four defibrillators after one saved employee's life

Manx Telecom now has four defibrillators after one was used to help save the life of a PokerStars employee.

Chris Corlett almost died when his heart stopped whilst in work last month - sparking a new campaign by Craig's Heartstrong Foundation to equip local firms with the devices.

Manx Telecom is now having 20 staff trained to use the equipment by members of St John Ambulance.

The defibrillators will be spread across four company locations, including its HQ in the Isle of Man Business Park and its store in Strand Street.
