DEFA urges public to shop closer to home
The new Food Business Development Manager is urging the public to go local for food and drink for their Christmas dinners.
Andrew Lees - who took up the post on November 26 - says Manx firms are ready to meet the high demand in one of the busiest times of the year.
Last year, many relied on local producers when bad weather affected supplies in the supermarkets.
Mr Lees says they're ready for the rush this time around:
Chamber of Commerce remains neutral on wind farm
The energy firm sponsored lobby group's 70th anniversary gala dinner
Bus services put 'at risk'
A reason for the potential disruption hasn't been given
Could treating more patients in UK be better value for money?
Former treasury and health minister keen to see more done to tackle healthcare spending
Motorbike rider taken to UK hospital after Mountain Road crash
Police still trying establish the 'exact nature and circumstances of what happened'
