Manx Financial Group (AIM:MFX) CEO Douglas Grant talked with Proactive about the company's record 2024 results and plans for continued expansion. Grant shared that Manx Financial Group delivered a 41% jump in profits last year, driven by three main growth areas: Conister Bank's strong liquidity, Payment Assist's accelerating lending volumes, and Manx Ventures' strategic investments. He explained, “Buy now, pay later allows people to spread the unexpected bill… but it's interest-free, so it's actually not costing the consumer anything.” The company has seen Payment Assist grow lending from £180 million to over £220 million in a year. Grant also discussed the move into mortgages and plans to enter the Irish market by securing a consumer credit license. He said this expansion would enable Manx Financial Group to passport operations across the EU, creating further growth potential. Regarding shareholder returns, Grant highlighted the consistent approach of paying 10% of profits as dividends while reinvesting capital to fuel the company's growth strategy. In 2025, he said the acquisition of a wealth management firm and the launch of Buy Now Pay Later Ltd and Drive Now Pay Later in Ireland are expected to drive further momentum.

With 15 medals at the last Island Games in Guernsey, it's perhaps no surprise the Isle of Man swimming team is in high spirits going into the latest games in Orkney this year.The number 15 is prominent again this time around - that's the number of swimmers who'll fly the Manx flag this month.At the heart of the team once more will be team manager, Erica Bellhouse and national team coach, Lee Holland.Manx Radio's been speaking with them both to get their thoughts on the campaign ahead:

The modern 5th July is old-style midsummer, a fire festival associated with Manannan Mac Lir. We celebrate him and his kingdom of Man in music. There's more from William Gell's 1906 poem about the Island, and from Grimm's Fairy Tales in a translation into Manx.

With the sad news of the death of Pat Bridson, one of the radical nationalist politicians who helped develop Mec Vannin in the 1960s and 70s to become a credible political force I took the opportunity to catch up with two of her colleagues, Bernard Moffatt and Allan Bell. Pride in the place you live and a desire to develop Manx solutions to Manx problems has become quite a normal part of political discourse these days but sixty years ago this was seen as quite a radical philosophy. Any chance that we'll hear glowing tributes on previous government's from Bernard? Well … prepare to be shocked!

In tonight's programme:Tonight (4 July) sees a meeting of some of the biggest football talent on Island as the Isle of Man men's national side and FC Isle of Man face off in a friendly under the floodlights at The BowlFor the first time ever, the World Downhill Skateboarding Championship is visiting the Island, we hear from the event's Director of RacingAnd we're continuing our countdown to the 2025 Island Games - we'll find out how preparations are going for the Isle of Man's golf teamAnd also - after a great medal haul at the games last time out - the Manx swimming squad tells us about their hopes for Orkney this monthThis week featuring Chris Bass, Paul Jones, Will Stephenson, Gary Ashe, Erica Bellhouse and Lee Holland

Golf is a sport in which the Isle of Man has enjoyed a good deal of success in at the Island Games previously, and there's hopes that the Manx squad can relive that feeling again in 2025.Eight players have been selected for the Isle of Man's golf team heading to Orkney this month.And spearheading their campaign as team manager is Gary AsheIn this extended interview, he sat down with Manx Radio at Douglas Golf Club recently to explain how much he and the team is relishing this latest challenge.

The latest Manx side we're taking a look ahead of the 2025 Island Games is one that has its message very clear... they're going for gold in Orkney.Having been crowned champions in Gotland in 2017, the Isle of Man men's football team had a disappointing campaign in 2023 in Guernsey by their standards, finishing ninth.Caretaker player/manager Chris Bass jnr. sat down with us recently to explain why - above all else - he believes his squad should settle for nothing less than the top prize this summer:

The Isle of Man, or Manx, is a self-governing dependency of the United Kingdom, located between Great Britain and Ireland, and has been influenced by the cultures of both. It's known for being an offshore tax haven and a centre for gambling companies. It also has the oldest continuously-running parliament, the Tynwald, which is claimed to be over 1000 years old. There is also the Manx tongue, a Celtic language spoken by little over 2000 people, but which has undergone a recent revival.With a population of around 80,000, it is perhaps a surprise to find a Manxer on another island on the other side of the world. It was Ellie's love of boats and sailing that drew her away from the Isle of Man, first with a a sailing adventure across the Atlantic, then 6 months sailing around the Pacific. Her first contact with Tasmania though came through a circumnavigation of Australia on the tall ship the Endeavour . It wasn't until years later, when Ellie became pregnant with her second child, that her and her Australian partner, made the decision that Tasmania would be the place they would settle and raise their children, and it's been a decision that Ellie hasn't regretted.Music used in this episode is in the Manx language and is used under Creative Commons from Culture Vannin -https://culturevannin.im/manxfolklore... .

In this episode Neil Callin chats with his fellow cast members, Jack Divers, Meg Walker and Charlie Williams from Two feather's upcoming production of Little Shop of Horrors which opens at the Gaiety Theatre on Saturday 12th July 2025.

What message lies at the heart of the Isle of Man Government? Is it a tax and spend government spending all our hard earned savings, or is it a government that takes a more cautious approach to spending and sees income growth as a product of a growing economy? Government's Our Island Plan had some bold ambition but is it being delivered? There's one man who should know the answer to these questions and that's Chief Minister Alf Cannan and he talks to Perspective. Are the promises of jam tomorrow being spread a little too thinly on the Manx political jam butty?

On last week's Agenda Lawrie Hooper called out government for requiring higher pay for migrant workers than Manx workers but was he right? The Treasury Minister doesn't think so and he puts his case to Agenda. Mr Hooper also suggested he would pull his Tynwald motion on releasing more detail about school assessments if the Education Minister conceded an improved position. The motion wasn't moved so Agenda asks the Minister what did she do to pacify Mr Hooper. Is a war of words developing in Ramsey between the town's MHKs?

In last week's sitting of the House of Keys Lawrie Hooper asked the Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston “Whether the Minimum Wage will be increased to £13.05 by 1st October 2025 to reach equivalence with the minimum salary threshold for Worker Migrant visas at that date? In an interesting exchange it emerged that government's position appears to be that it didn't want migrant workers to undercut Manx workers in the job's market. Of course that then means that the minimum wage for immigrant workers is higher than that for Manx workers. We'll also hear from Dawn Kinnish MLC who's taking her first Bill through LegCo which has just the faintest hint of poacher turned game keeper.

A translation into Manx of stories from the Brothers Grimm is interwoven with more from the 1906 poem by William Gell, Mannin Veg Veen, the dear little Isle of Man. In between is music from the six Celtic nations : Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales.

TVC 689.1: Part 2 of a conversation that began two programs ago with Dore Page, author of Leslie Stevens Goes to Hollywood: Daystar Productions, Kate Manx and the Making of Private Property, a deep dive into the life and career of the maverick television writer and producer best known as the creator of The Outer Limits that particularly focuses on the making of Private Property  (1960), the New Wave-style erotic thriller starring Corey Allen, Warren Oates, and Stevens' wife at the time, Kate Manx. April 2025 marked the 65th anniversary of the release of Private Property. In this segment, Ed, Dore, and guest co-host Chuck Harter discuss the mysterious nature of Manx's death in November 1964, as well as the reasons why Private Property was branded as “indecent” at the time it was originally released—even though the subject matter is quite tame when viewed through a contemporary lens. Leslie Stevens Goes to Hollywood is available through McFarland Books.

He also discusses how business and conservation can work together for a more sustainable future. Beyond his professional life, Graham opens up about his passion for volunteering and motorcycle touring and his experiences as a TT and Manx Grand Prix marshal.  This episode is packed with insights into resilience, personal growth, and the vital role of community in conservation.  Here is Graham Makepeace-Warne in episode 129 of Island Influencers.
