Licensed Victuallers Association predicts difficult January for sector
December has been described as 'catastrophic' for the Isle of Man's pub and restaurant trade.
The Licensed Victuallers Association is hoping to meet with government to discuss the challenges facing the industries.
Numerous venues faced staff shortages or cancellations due to Covid-19.
Chair Geoff Joughin says he has big concerns for some premises going into the New Year:
Countering Financial Crime Conference taking place in Douglas
Talks on 'pig-butchering' and combatting transnational criminal empires
Over 3,000 affected by Cabinet Office data breach
Commissioner Dr Alexandra Delaney-Bhattacharya has issued it with a reprimand
No magic framework for 'arms-length' government bodies
There are ongoing reviews into the governance of several high profile organisations
Island approaches last days of fifth heatwave
But good weather looks set to break
