We’re hard at work on the next issue of Island Business magazine and it will be out at the start of next month.
If you haven’t caught up with this month’s issue, you can browse it on-line now. We look at the Island’s PFI contractor Island Roads, we hear from Shanklin Theatre and we feature the Island’s construction industry with G J Banks Isle Of Wight and ERMC.
