Businesses prepare for 'major economic boost' as Isle of Man TT approaches
Video report by ITV Granada Reports' Isle of Man reporter Joshua Stokes Businesses on the Isle of Man 'reliant on the TT' are preparing for the return of the world-famous races. Several entrepreneurs across the island have spoken about how valuable the racing is to their businesses. More than 50,000 tourists from across the world are expected to travel to the island to witness the action. CEO of Duke Events, Peter Duke, believes the racing brings in 'well over £50 million' to the Manx economy. He said: "We're fairly dependent on it, we certainly suffered during the Covid lost years, that was really really difficult - but we survived, we're still here and we just want to make the TT experience better for everybody." Duke Events has a number of pop-up accommodation sites across the Isle of Man, housing hundreds of TT fans travelling across the world to witness the races. Mr Duke said there has been a steady increase in visitors from North America, particularly since the launch of the TT+ service, live streaming the racing across the globe. "40% of our guests are from North America now - they see it on TV and they love it!". A number of pop-up camping sites are built all around the Isle of Man to accommodate the tens of thousands of visitors. Credit: ITV Granada Reports Chris Kelly has a number of businesses on the island, but it is in catering where he makes his money during the TT period. "The TT is this business", he said. "Other smaller events in the year, the money just isn't in them. I mean there's a lot of businesses that just rely solely on the TT". Mr Kelly is preparing for his second year stationed in the fan park at the TT Grandstand, after a successful first outing in 2024. "Myself and my wife Tash ran it single-handedly, we did get a bit of help from family and friends, but it was an exhilarating experience". Red Arrows set to return to Isle of Man TT 2025 Chris Kelly prepares his churros truck, ahead of two weeks of racing. Credit: ITV Granada Reports Work is underway to build the TT fan park and paddock surrounding the Grandstand. The site is the largest so far, covering 120,000 square metres of space around Nobles Park - including race control, accommodation and car parking. Paul Phillips, Head of Motorsport at the Isle of Man Government, said: "It's a huge undertaking. It's in effect building a village or a town from scratch in a greenfield site." When asked how much the TT benefits the economy, Mr Phillips said: "The tentacles of TT economically go far wider than just visitors or visitor spend. "There's all of the jobs that it sustains all year round, whether that's in media, in infrastructure and logistics. "Most of the sports clubs turns into campsites generating lots of revenue effectively keeping them afloat. "Other organisations are able to create pop-up business that gives them a level of income that allows them to operate all year round." The Isle of Man TT starts on Monday 26 May and ends with the Senior TT race on Saturday 7 June. Want a quick and expert briefing on the biggest news stories?

Cutting through the noise with transparency and education in trading
With so much conflicting information in the market, it's crucial to understand if trading aligns with your goals and risk tolerance. CFI Financial Group's pioneering Trading Transparency+ initiative offers the clarity and tools for responsible decision-making. By Ziad Melhem Chief Marketing Officer, CFI Financial Group In an era where access to financial markets is easier than ever, trading has become a popular avenue for many seeking to build wealth or diversify their portfolios. Yet, with the rise of online platforms, traders are increasingly faced with an overwhelming volume of information, advice and predictions, much of it conflicting or misleading. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement, but the reality is that trading is not for everyone – and even for those it suits, it's important to approach it with a clear, well-informed mindset. At CFI Financial Group, we believe the first step in successful trading is understanding whether it aligns with your personal goals and risk tolerance. This is where Trading Transparency+ (TT+) comes in – not as a one-size-fits-all solution, but as a helpful initiative designed to help individuals assess their readiness for the markets. An overload of information One of the most common challenges traders face today is the sheer volume of conflicting information available. While some online platforms promise instant wealth, others promote complicated strategies without explaining the inherent risks. For many, this 'noise' leads to confusion, missteps and, at times, significant financial loss. The fast-paced nature of the market can further cloud judgment, particularly for those new to trading. That's why transparency matters. Understanding what you're getting into and having a clear sense of whether trading aligns with your goals is essential for making informed decisions. Trading Transparency+ provides resources and tools to help users do just that. A simple reality check One of the more straightforward features of TT+ is the Trading Reality Check tool, available for free on our website ( This tool offers individuals a chance to evaluate their approach to trading by asking a series of practical, self-reflective questions. It's not about dissuading anyone from trading, but rather helping them assess whether their current strategy aligns with their broader financial aspirations. Through this simple process, individuals can identify gaps in their understanding or recognise areas where their approach may be unsustainable or misaligned with their goals. While it's not a definitive answer, it offers a reality check – an honest tool for self-reflection. How education leads to responsible trading Trading is a complex activity and success isn't guaranteed. It requires knowledge, patience and a solid understanding of the risks involved. The Trading Transparency+ programme is designed to help individuals make more informed decisions by providing educational content on key trading concepts. Topics such as risk management, the realities of market behaviour and the differences between trading and investing are covered through webinars, articles and videos. We are committed to offering a balanced, fact-based approach to trading education. The goal is to help traders understand the realities of the market and assess whether it fits within their financial picture. After all, sometimes the best decision is to not trade – or at least not to trade certain products or markets that may not align with personal goals or risk tolerance. Making the right decision The purpose of Trading Transparency+ is not to promote a specific product or strategy but to help people make better, more informed decisions about whether trading is right for them. By offering insights, resources and self-assessment tools, we aim to cut through the confusion and provide clarity in a crowded, often noisy space. At CFI, we believe in the importance of transparency and education in any financial journey. The mission of TT+ is simple – to help individuals assess whether trading fits with their goals and whether it's a suitable financial tool for them. For some, that might mean focused research into the markets with the right knowledge and tools; for others, it might mean stepping back and reassessing their approach. Whatever the outcome, the decision will be better informed. Clarity, not sales We aren't here to sell anyone on trading. Instead, our focus with Trading Transparency+ is on providing the resources that enable individuals to make thoughtful, responsible decisions about their financial futures. Ultimately it's about understanding the broader context of trading – how it fits into your financial goals, your risk profile and your long-term aspirations. In a world of endless chatter, clarity is a powerful asset. At CFI Financial Group, we are committed to offering transparency, education and tools to help you make the right decision – whether that decision is to engage in trading or pursue another path entirely.
