The Isle of Man Business Network (“IOMBN”) is pleased to announce its next event “The UK EU Referendum – in or out, what happens now for the Isle of Man?” taking place on Monday 27th June at The Claremont Hotel.

Kindly sponsored by Browne Craine & Co, IOMBN members and guests can look forward to hearing the initial observations of Chief Minister Allan Bell MHK following the outcome of the United Kingdom referendum on whether or not it will remain in the European Union.

A vote to leave on 23rd June would take the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man on a journey into uncharted territory. Much would depend on what the UK could negotiate in place of EU membership, and how the Island as a Crown Dependency would fit in to that new relationship.

Building on the work already undertaken by Government to set out possible implications and identify some of the key areas for discussion, the Chief Minister will be able to provide an insight into how the Isle of Man Government is likely to respond to the debates that will follow in the weeks, months and years ahead -- whatever the outcome.

“We are very grateful to the Chief Minister for agreeing to speak to our members and guests on such an important topic,” said Rachael Hooper, Chairman of the IOMBN. “The outcome of the UK EU Referendum may have a large effect on the Isle of Man so we welcome the opportunity to hear what the Chief Minister’s views are, whatever the outcome. I’d also like to thank Browne Craine & Co for sponsoring the event.”
