ISLAND based accountants PurpleAccounts has opened a third office in Ramsey.

The office, within the Victoria Mall complex, comes six months after the successful opening of another office in Castletown.

David Parker, managing director said: "Ramsey has a fantastic array of small businesses and we have noticed a growing demand for our services from businesses based in Ramsey. It makes perfect sense for us to be closer to those businesses providing a local service so that owners are able to minimise time away from their business.

"Our role as a key business partner is facilitated through our new northern branch and strengthens our position as leader in the provision of accountancy services to small owner managed businesses."

PurpleAccounts will be holding an opening event on Thursday, December 9, at 4pm. Everyone is welcome to attend for mince pies and mulled wine.
