Sandpiper-owned shop creates 13 new jobs
A new store, opening its doors in Douglas for the first time today, has created 13 jobs on the Island.
Apple retailer iQ is at Victory House on Prospect Hill, and stocks the full range of products from the technology giant.
It's owned by Channel Islands-based retail group Sandpiper, which also runs Card Factory in Strand Street.
Brand manager Caroline Slowey-Dickinson says there are advantages to buying on-Island:
Government support for two 'long-stalled' Douglas developments
Former Newson's building and Duke Street site offered assistance through Island Infrastructure Scheme
Drop-in for Manx charites that operate internationally
It's to offer support about new legislation
Charity says bank support has been vital
Victim Support has been working with RBS International
MNFU calls for ability to trade with UK to be made a priority
It comes after recent changes to the UK's BSE status have caused 'huge problems' for Manx farmers
