Bridge Angel Network to close

A not-for-profit business and investment network based on Island is to close its doors next month.

Bridge Angel Network, which was founded in May 2016 has set up a growing network of start-ups, high growth business and investors aimed at building and supporting entrepreneurship on the Isle of Man.

The organisation confirmed it will cease trading as of the end of June, with its chair, Simon Nicholas, saying they've been 'privileged' to support emerging business talent.

Since it began, the network has seen over £2million invested in local start-up businesses and provided more than 450 hours of free business support and mentorship.
