Saturday, June 3, 2023

The Jamaica Chamber of Commerce (JCC) hosted its 38th Annual Awards on Wednesday, May 31, 2023, at the Grand Jamaica Suite of the Jamaica Pegasus hotel. The highly anticipated event attracted corporate luminaries, politicos and nominees for the ‘Best of Chamber’ awards.

The JCC acknowledges, each year, companies that have demonstrated the highest level of performance and best practices in various areas, including corporate leadership, product and service quality, human resource development, marketing innovation, corporate citizenship, and sustaining growth.

As anticipation filled the ballroom, the evening’s compère Dania Beckford took to the stage to announce the winners of the coveted award categories. A wave of cheers erupted when Sanmerna Paper Products Limited was announced winner of the Small Enterprise Award. Meanwhile, the Jamaica Stock Exchange copped the Medium Enterprise Award.

The announcements continued with SimSpeak Communication Services Limited being declared winner of the Entrepreneurship Award for critical contribution to Jamaica, and the Jamaica Constabulary Force the JCC Yello Marketing Excellence Award.

One could have heard a pin drop as the capacity-filled ballroom awaited announcement of the evening’s big winners. Complete with drum roll Massy Distribution Jamaica Limited and Seprod Limited were declared the Large Enterprise and the Extra-Large Enterprise Award winners, respectively.
