Mainstream Financial and Mannin Media are celebrating the launch of a new publication the two Island businesses have produced for the Department of Economic Development. Inspired is a 144-page publication showcasing key benefits the Island can offer businesses in a wide range of sectors including e-gaming, financial services, space commerce, aviation, shipping and manufacturing. Inspired is one of the vehicles used by the Department of Economic Development to promote the Island as an international business centre and is being distributed to key contacts provided by businesses and organisations featured in the publication. Craig Wolstencroft, Managing Director of Mainstream Financial, said: “All of the editorial content in Inspired emphasises that the Island provides a unique business environment where there is a close relationship between government and the private sector with both working towards a common goal and promoting our collective interest in the success of ‘Isle of Man as a whole’.” Mainstream Financial and Mannin Media are planning to produce an updated version for 2012. Steve Brown, Managing Director of Mannin Media, said: “Inspired is a reflection of the capabilities of two local companies which, by their professional and collaborative approach, have been able to produce a publication which would be the envy of any multi-national publishing house. I am very proud of the relationship Mannin Media has with Mainstream Financial, and of the relationship we have forged with the Department of Economic Development team.” Allan Bell MHK, Department of Economic Development Minister, said the contributions from key individuals within Government and the private sector showed how well the Isle of Man Government and the private sector work together to create a positive environment for its target customers “The Isle of Man is a great place in which to do business and the Inspired publication has done an excellent job of highlighting the diversity and quality of companies that operate in the Isle of Man, demonstrating how they are succeeding in one of the most entrepreneurial and business-friendly environments in the world.” Copies of Inspired are available from Ian Rowley at Mannin Media by emailing ianrowley@manninmedia.co.im or calling 01624 696552.
