The Port Authority of Jamaica, on Wednesday, November 22, commemorated its 50th anniversary with a Corporate Awards and celebration at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel.
Hundreds filled the elegant KW Events-designed ballroom for an evening that not only recognised the tremendous contribution of staff and key stakeholders, but also showcased the organisation’s many achievements and highlighted long-serving employees.
The evening wrapped with the cutting of an elaborate Cake Couture Ja cake, and a performance by King of the Dancehall Beenie Man.
