Business Social

THE lobby of JWN’s corporate office in New Kingston was transformed into a delicate glass house, decorated with beautiful flora and accent pieces contrasted by pops of colour on March 6, 2025 as a luncheon to celebrate the culmination of its Spirited Women season 2 series got underway.

Attended by a handful of guests, the gathering comprising past and current Spirited Women participants, JWN management and staff, and a few members of the media were treated to an evening of food, entertainment and inspiring conversations.

The event moderated by the inimitable Emprezz Golding created the perfect atmosphere for lively discussions and networking opportunities, paired with rounds of Appleton-infused drinks and a specially curated menu put together by Chef Jackie Tyson and her team.

Business Social was in attendance and shares highlights from the event:
