Investment firm Sygnus has marked its 10th anniversary by launching the Sygnus Foundation and completing a $16-million roof restoration at Barbary Hall Primary and Infant School in St Elizabeth.

The project restored the school’s roof, allowing students to return to classrooms disrupted by Hurricane Melissa. Staff from Sygnus also repainted the playground, part of a wider attempt to revive the school environment and restore a sense of normality.

The ceremony brought together senior figures from business and government, including Berisford Grey, Sygnus’s founder and chief executive officer; Floyd Green, minister of agriculture, fisheries and mining and parliamentary representative for St Elizabeth South Western; Elizabeth James, the firm’s head of wealth and client strategy; and Danielle Drummond of the National Education Trust, alongside members of the Sygnus team.
