I am originally from London, England but I am slowly finding a way to call Jamaica my home as I reside there for the best part of the year. Back in the UK I have run my Construction firm for the last 11 years, building, renovating and project managing people's building dreams. I cut my teeth in the City of London for most of my twenties, working in everything from Advertising to Business Development, but one of the best decisions I ever made was setting up my own business. My blog and freelance work is another pursuit that I get enjoyment out of and my new business model to encourage and assist with trade between the UK and Jamaica is well under way. Jamaica is a beautiful country with potential and I am both pleased and proud to be working with two local schools and a local farmers group. My main interests are sustainable anything, from permaculture to renewable energy solutions which can transform the Jamaican landscape in an ecologically friendly way that still provides work for the locals.
