A Port Erin shop is celebrating after being named the British Independent Retailer of the Year.
Mantons Cards was awarded the honour at the BIRA awards ceremony recently.
The judges said Mantons stood out as having a broad variety of achievements which impressed the judges, not just working to improve one aspect of the business but many elements at the same time.
They added that as the only Manx company to ever reach the final, Mantons has put the Isle of Man firmly on the map.
Before being presented with the honour, Mantons owner Chris Beards said having previously won awards for its customer service, product selection, marketing, and window displays, it's fantastic to be recognised by the British Isles' only awards which are open to every independent retailer.
