MANDEVILLE, Manchester — It was an invitation to “pamper the body, soothe the mind and lift the spirit”, and Jamaica Money Market Brokers’ (JMMB) high net worth client cocktail delivered.

The financial institution recently had, for the first time, team members and customers from its branches in Mandeville, Junction and Santa Cruz gathered in one place for its annual mixer.

On approaching the venue — the Sinclair’s residence in the upscale community of Ingleside — the large number of vehicles was evidence of an event in full swing.

There was live music — by Ellan Neil accompanied by Pon Fyah band — dancing, massages courtesy of Adam and Eve Day Spa, yoga, poetry, an open bar, and food. After approximately four hours of networking, relaxation and rejuvenation, the afternoon wound down into the evening as guests gradually left.

For Simone Thomas, who has oversight responsibility for the three JMMB branches, it was “extremely important” to have the event.

“It is not just about money, but about deepening relationships,” she said.
