Isle of Man crew assists in Storm Arwen aftermath
A Manx Utilities team, dispatched to Cumbria in the UK last week following Storm Arwen, has returned to the Isle of Man after assisting in restoring power to around 300 homes.
During the trip they were tasked with some of the more challenging roles given their extensive experience working under unpredictable weather conditions whilst on the Island.
Chairman of Manx Utilities Rob Callister says he's extremely proud of the work they've completed:
