Island firm to feature in Small Business Saturday

Shop chosen for UK pre-Christmas promotion

An Isle of Man business has been named as one of 100 small firms in the UK to be celebrated by Small Business Saturday in the run-up to Christmas. 

Port Erin-based Manton's Cards will be among companies featured in the 100 day campaign leading up to Saturday 5 December.

Organisers say last year's event to promote independent outlets trended at number one on Twitter on the day and received around 3.5 million views on its Facebook page.

This year Small Business Saturday carries the theme '5 million small businesses, 1 big day'.

Co-owner of Manton's Chris Beards says being part of the Small Biz 100 is the ultimate reward for the his dedicated team who've all contributed to the shop's success.
