Collaborative business space for Douglas

Eagle Lab base coming to Victoria Street

Businesses and community organisations are being given a space to share ideas in a new scheme from Barclays bank.

The firm's 'Eagle Lab' initiative, which provides collaborative office facilities in major cities, is opening a base on Victoria Street in Douglas in June.

Entrepreneurs will be able to take advantage of a range of tools including 3D printing equipment.

It's being assisted by the Chamber of Commerce and Department for Enterprise.

Access will be provided on a subscription or per-use basis.

Barclays' Managing Director in the Island is Simon Scott.
