Business social – March 12

The Jamaica Chamber of Commerce raised the spirits — quite literally — last week as it welcomed its newest business members in style. The event was held last Wednesday evening @23 bar inside J Wray & Nephew corporate offices. The event, titled, ‘JCC CONNECT: Exclusive New Members Mixer’, promised to blend Jamaica’s rich rum heritage with fresh business connections. With premium cocktails flowing, skilfully prepared by the JWN Academy mixologists, and business cards at the ready, Jamaica’s newest chamber members toasted to future partnerships under the banner of two of the nation’s most enduring commercial institutions. The invitation-only affair was the perfect midweek networking opportunity for the island’s ambitious business community.

Here are some highlights:

Simone Foster, brand experience manager at J Wray & Nephew Limited, with Martiman Henry, Supmasol, CEO.

The night was about mingling and relationship building last Wednesday inside @23 bar at the JWN Dominica Drive corporate offices. Pausing for a quick snap from their group chat are J Wray & Nephew team members Daniel Caron (left), Samara South (centre), Marco Borassi (second right), National Rums’ Martha Miller (second left) and VMBS’ Paul Anderson.

Business leaders (from left) Michael McMorris, JCC past president; Phillip Ramson, current JCC president; Jaimie Ogilvie, JCC 4th VP; Karen Wareham Jones, FirstCare Medical; Chavel Dennis, FirstCare Medical; and Basil Watson, JCC CEO; pause from the mixing and mingling to acknowledge our lens at the recent exclusive JCC Connect mixer, celebrating new partnerships and opportunities in Jamaica’s business community.

The @23 bar, located within the elegant J Wray & Nephew corporate offices at 23 Dominica Drive, provided the perfect backdrop for the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce’s new members networking event. Looking on during the formalities are new members: Michele-Ann Hamilton, Innovative Marketing Guro Global; Gabrielle Murdock, Supmasol; Karen Wareham Jones, FirstCare Medical; Chavel Dennis, FirstCare Medical; and Monique Morrison, MoniqueMorrison Law.

Meeting of the minds as JCC Connect brings together some of Jamaica’s finest. Sharing lens time at the recent cocktail event are (from left) Shulette Cox, president of Jampro; Thasya Fletcher, JCC membership services officer; and Joan Latty, JoanLatty Realty Ltd.
