Standard Bank boardwalk opened

by isleofman.com 4th July 2008
A local company with its roots in South Africa has sponsored the latest feature in the 'African' section of the Curraghs Wildlife Park.

Directors of Standard Bank recently attended the official opening of a new boardwalk which bears the name of the company.

It will give visitors excellent views of the lemurs, who now have their own Island enclosure to roam around in.

The Standard Bank Group was established in South Africa in 1862, and the Isle of Man operation is part of Standard Bank Offshore.
