The Minister says his Department is always happy to talk to small businesses that may be struggling
The Enterprise Minister says he's sorry to hear of the demise of one of the Island's most iconic food producers.
Tim Johnston says the closure of Moore's traditional Smokehouse in Peel, which has been smoking herring since 1882, is regrettable, but it reflects the nature of the sector, which has historically seen considerable 'churn'.
Ironically the closure coincides with a new dawn for the Island's herring fishery, with local vessels able to catch herring in Manx waters for the first time in years.
The Minister says his Department is always happy to talk to small businesses that may be struggling:
Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
