Jamaica Observer’s Business Social celebrates the 29th Carlton Alexander Awards, hosted by Jamaica College Old Boys’ Association recently at Jamaica Pegasus hotel, after a five-year hiatus.

The Carlton Alexander Awards, named in honour of the late esteemed Carlton Alexander, a Jamaica College old boy and former chairman and CEO of GraceKennedy Limited, is an event that recognises outstanding contributions of alumni to both Jamaica College and the nation.

This year the spotlight shone on three extraordinary individuals, namely: Peter Melhado, Dr Derrick McDowell, and Gladstone “Tony” Lewars, all distinguished Jamaica College men.

The pinnacle of the evening was undoubtedly the presentation of awards to the honorees, acknowledging their significant contributions in their respective fields, positively impacting both the school and the nation. The presence of supporters from corporate Jamaica enhanced the grandeur of the event, underlining the widespread contributions, recognition, and support for the honorees and Jamaica College.
