Start date for new Isle of Man TT promotion company delayed

Isle of Man ministers have delayed the appointment of Vision Nine as the new TT and Classic TT promotion company due to concerns over ‘operational matters’.

The appointment of Vision Nine was approved by Tynwald in April this year with the view to them taking over significant levels of operational, promotional and commercial delivery responsibility for the TT and Classic TT from 2017. Due to the delay, the organisation of the 2017 Events will remain with the Department.

“The Department has been working closely with Vision Nine over the past few months to finalise the agreement and terms of the appointment, including issues raised by other Government Departments concerning certain operational matters. This has taken longer than envisaged and, as a result, and in order to ensure that plans for the 2017 TT are not adversely affected by the delay, we have taken the decision to defer the start date for the appointment,” said economic development minister Laurence Skelly MHK.

“We are currently working on an agreement to reflect the deferred start date and to incorporate the changes requested by other Departments. We are still looking to work with Vision Nine and hope to conclude the appointment at the earliest opportunity.”
