The Bold Ones

Jamaica has always had a reputation of having individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit.  Too often, though, that spirit is either ignored or beaten down. So I was enthused to read about those businesses that were recognised  by the National Bakery as new champions of manufacturing.  These companies were honoured for their contribution to the Jamaican economy.  It was not a competition but there was a selection process and the added exposure will surely help those businesses continue to excel.  

The bold ones are:

  • Adduci (Jamaican cigars)
  • AMG Packaging Paper Company
  • Banyan Creations
  • Country House Products
  • Chocolate Dreams
  • Home Choice
  • The Jerk Place
  • Pastry Passions
  • West Indies Gypsum
  • Yono Industries
  • Spur Tree Spices

Let us continue to support our local entrepreneurs!

  4. One by one increase to two by two,furthering a
    well needed re opening of buiseness/production
    that will require meaningfull employment under
    the freedom of liberty to expand,with the help
    of the enforcement of the law,void of thuggery
    and extortion,with Drugs & corrupt socialists.
    Every Jamaican,where ever we travel or reside
    are industrious,with skills inherent. Now that
    the rebirth of the bold-ones are recognized,a
    rapid expansion of commercial and,an industrial
    revolution is inevetable.
    Hail to the bold ones with challenges to grow,
    in so doing,Jamaica’s image will change for the
    better, through the free enterprise system our
    old parents state: Turn you hand make fashion.

    THIS ARTICLE IS SO TRUE!. THAT WE IN JAMAICA HAVE A TENDENCY TO LOOK DOWN ON SMALL BUSINESS AND ENTREPRENEURS . AND THAT’S WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE NOW BECAUSE WE ONLY SEE NEW IDEAS AS NEGATIVE TO US WHO ARE IN BUSINESS!. SO THIS IS A WELCOMING NEWS. AND HOPE IT CONTINUE!.
