One of the Island’s leading corporate service providers to the eGaming sector, Boston Trust, has announced a new and market-changing partnership with an ambitious Isle of Man-based betting and gaming consultancy company, InQ. Together, the two companies will bring a new offering to the Island: an end-to-end eGaming service that combines licensing and back-office services with high level, substantive consultancy and planning.
Boston is a respected and independent professional services group with offices in the Isle of Man and Malta, which already has a strong internal team of eGaming specialists. InQ is led by industry veterans Martin Linham and Mark Irvine, who are also behind the new Yello contact centre on the Isle of Man. InQ and Boston will provide top level corporate advice for companies in the betting and gaming sector, covering everything from licence applications and operations, to web platforms and marketing.
“As betting and gaming has proven to be a particularly resilient industry throughout the financial downturn, more and more clients are expressing an interest in investing in this area and our team has expanded as a result,” said Bruce Elliott, Head of eGaming at Boston. “By collaborating with InQ as strategic partners, we are offering even wider expertise on everything from overall strategy to the ever-evolving requirements of gaming legislation.”
InQ has been established as a strategic betting and gaming consultancy that will also provide focused services for the sector where a need is identified. This is where Yello has developed from, offering a locally-based contact centre dedicated to the specific requirements of the industry. Martin Linham, Mark Irvine and their team will provide professional support both directly to the Boston eGaming team and also to Boston’s clients.
“InQ is all about thinking outside the box, looking at the bigger picture and delivering workable strategies to help new and existing betting and gaming businesses operate profitably and efficiently,” said Martin Linham. “We will be working to supplement the excellent knowledge base that already exists within the Boston team by introducing our own insight to offer a level of service that can’t be matched on the Isle of Man or elsewhere.”
Boston clients can request advice on any aspect of the betting and gaming industry or they can take advantage of the full combined service offering, which includes a streamlined licence application, venture capital sourcing, tax advice, strategic planning and on-going marketing support. The company also offers wealth planning, trustee services and luxury asset management services.
