Jewellery chain to set up on the Island?

Northern Irish busines reveals plans

A jewellery chain based in Northern Ireland says it’s eyeing the Isle of Man as a possible location for a new store.

Argento Contemporary Jewellery has 50 shops across the UK and Ireland, and stocks brands such as Pandora.

In a strategic report filed alongside its results, the company said it had seen an 11 per cent fall in its turnover, and a 2.4 per cent fall in pre-tax profits to £1.68 million.

But it also revealed it’s planning to open stores in Scotland, England and the Isle of Man over the next 12 months.
