The Barbados Light & Power Company used its 115th anniversary on Friday to highlight the people behind its operations, pairing the milestone with a staff awards ceremony and news of a completed round of union negotiations.

Held under the theme “Blueprints of Excellence” at the Errol Barrow Centre for Creative Imagination at UWI Cave Hill, the second annual Luminosity Awards ceremony honoured individual and team achievements across several categories, while reflecting on more than a century of service to the island.

Managing director Roger Blackman opened the proceedings by noting that the anniversary coincided with another key development for the company.
