Businesses and entrepreneurs whose resilience, innovation and leadership helped drive Jamaica's recovery following Hurricane Melissa were recognised at the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce's (JCC) 41st Annual Awards banquet held at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston last Thursday.

The awards ceremony, held under the theme ‘Building Forward: Recognising Excellence in Recovery, Resilience & Growth’, celebrated organisations and individuals that successfully navigated post-hurricane challenges while strengthening operations and positioning themselves for long-term growth.

Delivering the keynote address, Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness praised the private sector for its continued contribution to national development and highlighted the role of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) in supporting the country's rebuilding efforts.
