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.
