ACE HOLLREISER LAUNCHES MANX CANNABIS CONCIERGE SERVICE TO SERVE THE NEW ISLE OF MAN REGULATED CANNABIS SECTOR.

DOUGLAS, Isle of Man – 21 July 2021 – Manx Cannabis Concierge launched today as a dedicated cannabis business consulting service of ACE Hollreiser to support companies as they navigate the new Isle of Man regulated cannabis sector.

Manx Cannabis Concierge (www.manxcannabisconcierge.com) is led by Eric Hollreiser and Fredrik Ekdahl, who worked with the Isle of Man Government to create the cannabis regulatory framework, ensure its passage through Tynwald and assist the Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC) in drafting the legal guidance for the industry.

“The Isle of Man will be a global gold standard regulator in cannabis licensing and the GSC will build upon its stellar reputation for being a nimble, approachable and responsible regulator,” said Eric Hollreiser, founder of ACE Hollreiser. “There are enormous advantages to setting up a cannabis business in the Isle of Man and Manx Cannabis Concierge will guide companies to the best solutions to meet their business plans: navigating the licensing application process; working with regulators, banks and insurers; establishing a successful Manx-based business and launching new products.”

In 2020, the Isle of Man Government Department for Enterprise retained ACE Hollreiser to lead the creation of the Manx cannabis regulations, to assist government in establishing the cannabis regulator within the GSC and to secure passage through Tynwald [the Isle of Man’s Parliament]. The Manx cannabis regulatory framework was approved in January and the GSC (www.isleofmangsc.com) is now accepting applications to allow commercial operators to grow, manufacture, distribute and export cannabis under license.

“Our work on the Manx cannabis regulatory framework combined with our experience in regulatory entrepreneurship gives us a unique set of skills to assist companies navigating the new licensed cannabis industry,” Fredrik Ekdahl said.

Eric Hollreiser has been a senior marketing and communications executive with some of the most-loved companies in the world including Disney, Microsoft and PokerStars, helping those companies manage effective public affairs, marketing campaigns and reputation management. 

Fredrik Ekdahl has worked with regulatory matters for more than 15 years, actively participating in the development of new regulatory systems in online gaming and medical cannabis. Representing PokerStars he was involved in the creation of regulated markets all over Europe.
