Manx companies appear to be positive about growth but unhappy about the availability of trained ICT staff.

Economic Development Minister John Shimmin, and ICT industry representative Steve Burrows were live on Mandate this morning to discuss the matter.
Mr Burrows says his personal experience is a case in point:
