Isle of Cider says there is 'hope out there' following Tesco takeover
Manx food and drink producers are being urged to 'go where they are valued'.
That's the message from one company who supplies small local businesses on the Island.
It follows the announcement that Shoprite is selling all its stores to Tesco.
Isle of Cider doesn't supply either chain.
Philip Jolley is the chief executive and founder and says the announcement doesn't have to be bad news:
House of Keys officially dissolved
Six weeks until the Island goes to the polls
Students collecting A-Level results
Teenagers sat exams earlier this year
Further TT course closures for filming
'Isle of Man' production heads west
Aspects of Manx Grand Prix 'extremely challenging' to organise
But organisers feeling positive ahead of 2026 event
