Mannin Retail outlines way forward
The company appointed to run Ramsey's post office says its strong position as a retailer in the town will ensure high street postal services into the future.
Mannin Retail was chosen to run a sub post office from its Spar store last November, after Isle of Man Post announced the closure of Crown offices in Douglas and Ramsey.
But the firm was dropped after a Cooperative group said it could run a sub post office, retaining the Courthouse building.
When the group failed to reach a deal with the Post Office, the contract was re advertised and this week, a new bid from Mannin Retail was accepted.
Mannin Retail's managing director Peter Whittacker says operating a profitable shop alongside the sub post office is the way forward:
