A home for business and diversity

The Isle of Man is a leading international business centre

renowned for innovation and professionalism. Perhaps

best known for its financial services industry, the Island has

successfully encouraged the diversification of its economy

in recent years and is now home to a wide range of

sectors including:

• Aviation

• Maritime

• Clean-tech and bio-med

• Space

• Creative industries

• High-tech manufacturing

• Financial services

• e-Business

• e-Gaming

• Tourism

• Retail

The Island is a place dependent on its people. Their beliefs

and values are as important as their skills and vision. Those

calling it home compete and engage enthusiastically in a

global economy but live in an island community where

family matters.

A place to prosper

Stability

The Isle of Man has its own democratically

elected Parliament and judicial system. In

addition, the Isle of Man has healthy reserves

along with a stable and diverse economy with

30 years of economic growth.

Tax regime

The Isle of Man has a clear and simple

tax regime with no Capital Gains Tax,

Withholding Taxes or Wealth Taxes.

Supportive Government

The Island recognises that the most effective

way to create a successful business environment

is to engage with its stakeholders and has

formed positive relationships with the private

sector. Ministers are accessible, which means

ideas are heard and acted upon. This enables us

to be agile, responsive and well placed to react

to the challenges of the global economy.

Regulation

The Isle of Man strives to be a model of political

stability, transparency and financial supervision.

We are at the forefront of best practice in

international regulation and have been praised

by global bodies including the OECD, G20

and IMF for our commitment to financial and

supervisory standards. The Isle of Man has been

the pioneer in introducing pragmatic regulation

and consumer protection, priding itself in being

responsive to international needs.

The Isle of Man has signed a number of

international tax agreements which reflect it’s

commitment to complying with international

standards.

Infrastructure

The Isle of Man has an excellent telecoms and

power infrastructure which has benefited from

hundreds of millions of pounds worth of public

and private sector investment in recent years. It is

this infrastructure which has helped provide the

foundation for the Island’s success as a major

centre for e-Business activities. In addition, the

Island offers internationally orientated service

expertise to a global client base.

Accessibility

The Island enjoys excellent transport links to

major transport hubs in the UK and Ireland with

over 100 flights per week to London, Liverpool

and Manchester, as well as regular flights to many

other regional airports, making the Isle of Man an

ideal gateway from which to travel to Europe and

the rest of the world.

Excellent quality of life

With beautiful countryside, very low crime rates

and excellent public services including health

care and high educational standards, there is

a relaxed and peaceful way of life on the Isle

of Man. The Island boasts a fine selection of

restaurants, shopping and leisure facilities, yet

away from the busy commercial centres, the

Island has retained a pace of life which is the

envy of most urban-dwellers.

Financial support

If you are relocating your business to the Island

or starting a new business, additional support in

the form of grants may be available.

Residency

There are no residency restrictions on the Island.

The Isle of Legends

The Isle of Man has earned a global reputation for its pioneering spirit and

history of innovation.

In 1824, Sir William Hillary, a Manx resident, created the lifeboat service which

later became the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

Art Nouveau artist Archibald Knox was born on the Island in 1864. His designs

for Liberty & Co made him a household name, as did his watercolours, graphic

designs and fonts.

And in 1881 the Isle of Man was among the first countries to give women the

vote.

The Island has seen over 100 films made on its shores, with names such as

Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz and John Malkovich to name but a few. More

recently, local actress Samantha Barks has starred alongside Anne Hathaway

and Hugh Jackman in Les Misérables to much critical acclaim.

Working from his Isle of Man studio, Roger W. Smith makes extraordinary

timepieces, following The Daniels Method, and is proud to be developing the

Island’s reputation as the Centre of Excellence for watch making.

The Island is the birthplace of disco legends the Bee Gees – who were later to

become one of the best-selling recording acts of all time.

In recent years, the Isle of Man has seen a meteoric rise in its sporting legends,

with Tour de France Green Jersey and world championships gold medallist

Mark Cavendish, Olympic Gold cyclist Peter Kennaugh and Zoe Gillings,

Britain’s No. 1 Olympic Snowboard Cross athlete, promoting the Island on a

worldwide scale. The Isle of Man TT races have attracted the worlds finest

motorcycle riders for over 100 years, and Ramsey’s Conor Cummins currently

holds the record as the fastest Manxman around the Mountain circuit.

Others are following in their footsteps and helping to raise the Island’s

reputation as a country which enables people to flourish.

Living the island life

The Isle of Man, with its relaxed and peaceful way of life

and friendly residents, boasts a fine selection of restaurants,

attractions, leisure facilities and activities.

The Island has retained a pace and quality of life, which is

envied by many, and with low crime rates the Island is one of

the safest places in the British Isles.

With the tourism industry complementing other sectors of the

Island’s varied economy, residents enjoy amenities such as

the theatre, cinemas, modern hotels, health clubs, casino and

nightclubs in addition to the many public houses and quality

restaurants.

Heritage forms an important part of Island life. There are

many historical attractions and a rich spectrum of ancient

monuments spanning 10,000 years of Manx history.

Newcomers to the Island are surprised by the variety of

scenery, which exists in such a relatively small landmass. From

rolling hills to picturesque farmlands, spectacular coastal

scenery to secluded glens, the Island provides a wealth of

diverse leisure activities, with an emphasis on sport and

outdoor pursuits.

The choice of outdoor sports is considerable. Cycling, golf

(we have 9 courses), sea and river fishing, sailing, windsurfing,

mountain biking, diving and hiking are popular. The Island

is internationally known as a centre for motorsport events,

especially the annual TT Races for motorcycles.

Excellent essentials

The Isle of Man has a high performing education system

consisting of 32 well-resourced primary schools and

five regional secondary schools which all share a strong

commitment to meet the requirements of the Island’s young

people.

Perhaps the most significant accolade paid to the Island’s system

came recently from Professor Guy Claxton, an internationally

renowned educational researcher, author and university lecturer,

who observed:

“I’ve been stunningly impressed by the schools I’ve already seen

on the Island, by the literature I’ve seen from the Department

of Education and Children and the ‘Essentials for Learning’

programme here. It seems as rich and as fruitful a culture for

learning-centered education as I’ve met anywhere in the world.”

Independent school King William’s College, founded in 1833, is

a co-educational, day and boarding school set in the beautiful

safe haven of Castletown in the Isle of Man. Located on two

sites, the Senior School is within one minute of the airport and

has excellent links worldwide, whilst the Junior School is situated

a mile away in the delightful wooded grounds of an old country

residence.

The Isle of Man offers a comprehensive health service operated

on an NHS-style basis providing a full range of services, from

hospitals and specialists to district nursing, and the government

is responsible for doctors, dentists, optometrists and pharmacists.

Health has enjoyed significant investment by the Isle of Man

Government including the state-of-the-art £112 million Noble’s

Hospital.

Where modern meets classic

Owing to the mass appeal of the Island in

Victorian times as a holiday destination, there

are a multitude of sizeable townhouses on

offer that were once thriving guest houses

cited especially around Douglas, the Island’s

capital. Many have been lovingly restored

and offer flexible living environments

complete with magnificent decorative ceiling

roses, deep cornices and over-sized skirting

boards. Many properties have ceiling heights

in excess of nine feet, lending a true sense of

grandeur to the house.

Many town houses are within walking

distance of the central business district and

cater for all budgets, from £150,000 for

an older home, to in excess of £1 million

for a prestigious gentleman’s residence set

over-looking a leafy square. Modern town

houses have also been constructed, with

state-of-the-art technology and high-end

contemporary finishes. Most town houses

have modest courtyards or small gardens,

some have garages and the best sea-fronted

properties boast spacious balconies with

coastal views to admire whilst entertaining.

For seasonal visitors town houses offer an

ideal base due to their low maintenance; for

others, these properties are an ideal home in

which to raise a family.

Room to breathe

Visitors to the Isle of Man are often amazed at how

clean and fresh the air is on the Island. For those living

here it’s often something that is taken for granted, but

those who are used to living in a city really notice it:

when they visit the Isle of Man, it’s hardly surprising

that a number of them end up moving here to live a

cleaner, fresher lifestyle.

The Isle of Man offers a country lifestyle which is quite

unique, and we have an abundance of properties

steeped in history and character. Properties with

countryside and sea views are at a premium and

with a good agent you will find them. The range

of options are guaranteed to inspire even the most

discerning client.

So whatever you are looking for, whether it’s a plot of

land to build your dream home, a stunning sunrise or

sunset location, land for pets and ponies or a period

property bursting with character, you can guarantee

you will find it here on the Isle of Man.

State of the art

While the Isle of Man still retains much of its

traditional architecture, it is not afraid to embrace

the latest design and technologies. The Island

boasts a variety of commercial properties serving

all industry sectors, from existing and upgraded

high street retail units to modern warehouses and

high-tech serviced offices.

The Isle of Man Business Park sits on the outskirts

of the capital Douglas, only a short drive from the

financial centre and the busy port, which operates

regular freight services to the UK and Ireland.

In the south of the Island, Balthane Industrial Estate

and Ronaldsway Industrial Estate act as trade,

manufacturing and engineering hubs, occupying

the area surrounding Ronaldsway Airport. Also

nearby is the 20-acre Freeport, a secure and

patrolled free zone chosen for its close proximity

the airport, its good support services and excellent

telecommunications.

Ronaldway Airport is also now equipped to cater

for private and business jets, with a designated

2,000 sq metres hangar, lounge facilities and a

business conference centre operated by The

Private Jet Company.

mum, you have the advantage of your child(ren)

being your access pass to a wide range of social

activities. If the corporate environment is more

your thing, the thriving business community is

hungry for fresh additions to the local resource

pool.

Personally, I have had the advantage of benefitting

from both worlds: building cherished friendships –

for parents and children alike – through play dates

and family lunches; as well as building my own

company offering bespoke business consulting

and creative writing services to a loyal client base.

Indeed, moving here from a big city like London

initially felt overwhelming. However, the trade-off

has been as far from a negative one as I could ever

have imagined. A sound sense of realism and an

open-mind has stood us in good stead along the

way. This is not Hong Kong, Paris or Dubai where

a cornucopia of leisure opportunities await you

on your doorstep. Instead you gain immediate

access to fresh air, beautiful nature, zero commute,

helpful locals – all contributing to a quality of life

which it is hard to find anywhere else in Northern

Europe. In addition, we have some excellent

restaurants, an ample array of cultural pursuits like

art galleries, museums, concerts and Broadway

musicals, as well as entertaining venues and festive

events for families, couples and singles alike.

Several high street brands have found their way

to our shopping areas – and thanks to our well-

developed digital and shipping infrastructure you

have access to the joys of online shopping too, of

course.

Yes, it can be a challenge to live in a small and

relatively slow-paced community; on an island

at that with its natural limitations and transport

challenges; and the weather is truly as fickle as a

feather in a stream. But journey away once in a

while and you will see the unbeatable advantages

of living here whenever you come back. There

really is no place to live like the Isle of Man.

The Isle of Man will be the base for manufacturing

developments using its ground-breaking ‘Diamond

Like Carbon’ process which combats corrosion

in the Oil & Gas industry. With such cutting-edge

technological requirements John, who has been

developing the business at its UK headquarters in

Bedford, England since buying it in 2003, was rightly

cautious in deciding where the next step should

take place.

“Initially the logistics of shipping worried me as I

need to be confident we can deliver promptly to

customers worldwide. When it became clear we

needed a new manufacturing facility, we searched

around the British Isles for the best place to base it

but when you looked at all the factors, the Isle of

Man won out. In our Isle of Man business we will

manufacture some really big machines to coat

the inside of 60’ long oil pipes with Diamond Like

Carbon.

“One of the most important elements for us is

to train and retain highly skilled technical staff. In

England we found that people would often move

on once they were trained but in the Isle of Man

employees are a lot more loyal. Generally people

on the Isle of Man want to stay on the Isle of Man

and you have this phenomenon where technical

people attract other technical people, they like to be

together which means you get a pool of talented,

highly-skilled people.”

John’s initial shipping concerns were solved by

an arrangement with a Bristol-based shipping

company and the development of re-usable

crates. “It’s no different to shipping from the UK,”

says John, “and as we are developing very high

value machines, the cost of shipping is a very small

contributor to the end price. In terms of getting

parts to the Island for assembly, we just keep a

bit more in stock to ensure we don’t run out of

anything if there are delays due to bad weather.”

John had already been aware of the Island’s

attractions to new businesses through

conversations with Adrian Moore, Chair of the Isle

of Man Aerospace Cluster, and says the Isle of Man

Government “couldn’t have been more helpful”.

John was able to take advantage of the financial

grant scheme to gain accreditation for five key

ISOs and the Freeport location offered the chance

for custom-built facilities which include room for

future expansion.

And future expansion is clearly a major goal for

Highland Scientific. John estimates the Isle of

Man business will employ up to 500 people at the

end of its current ten year plan (making it a major

employer on the Island) and is also planning a

stock market flotation before the decade is out.

“I feel totally positive about the Isle of Man and

our future there,” says John, “It has all the right

ingredients to build a successful business.”

John O’Driscoll, Highland Scientific

“I just love the Isle of Man: it’s an absolutely fantastic

place.” Highland Scientific Managing Director John

O’Driscoll is unequivocal in his assessment of the

Island as a place to do business and it is this belief

that led him to decide the Isle of Man was the right

place for a brand new manufacturing facility.

Primarily a research and development company,

Highland Scientific generates enabling

technologies for production processes around the

world. In particular it specialises in the application

of thin film coatings which are used by a wide

range of industries including optical, aerospace,

semiconductor, military, defence and oil and gas.
