“This is a tremendous opportunity for Jamaica, as regards to proactive solutions for the Auto Insurance Sector” cited Denis St. Bernard, Ex- Principal of the Insurance College of Jamaica and Vice President of the Association of Insurance Institute of the Caribbean (AIIC).
St. Bernard who has represented the Caribbean regional insurance sector on assignments as far as Malta, gives a thumbs up to the Courteville AutoRegTM MVAD software solution product which could deliver positive overall results for all the stakeholders in the Auto Sector, which is one of the largest and most vibrant sectors in Jamaica, but also one of the most challenging as well.
Of significant interest he effused, is the investment commitment Courteville would bring along with its solutions deployment, coupled with opportunities for small businesses to latch onto its operation network and the employment created for numerous youths in the Country.
He went on to outline that now is a time of change and a time of opportunity. The forces of globalisation and technology are reconfiguring the global marketplace as we speak – and change is happening very quickly indeed. Millions of jobs are being wiped out.
At the same time, exciting new opportunities are emerging but time is of the essence. The Caribbean brand is compelling. If Caribbean businesses do not move quickly enough to monetise the Caribbean brand in overseas markets, others no doubt will.
There are clear signs that this is already starting to happen and collaborations with entities like Courteville therefore is very timely, sighted St. Bernard.
The Courteville high powered team lead by the Group Managing Director, Mr. Bola Akindele, will be in Jamaica from 20th – 24th Jan, 2012 to engage with Sector leaders, Key Operators and various organisations and government officials in forging this hopefully successful alliance.
CaribDirect.com, are expected to provide ongoing media support to the mission in Jamaica and Trinidad while coordinating daily releases with local and regional media organisations to ensure both the Diaspora and the entire Caribbean are aware of this significant trade mission.
The Bog Walk Community will be one of the communities identified for one of Courteville’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Projects, which will be led by Priority Group’s Project Manager Mr. Esua Samuels who is currently doing lots of creative work with the UNAJ Chapter in the St.Catherine Parish.
