Denis St. Bernard , CEO of the Priority Group International, a Jamaican owned and based Investigation, Property and Business Support Services Group explained that this is a key strategic move on behalf of the Group, so as to focus its resources and efforts on our core business services.
He is also one of the Directors of the Caribbean Enterprise Network UK (CENUK www.cenuk.net) who they teamed up with over two years ago to get the first trade mission of its kind into the region, with its first stop being Jamaica. ‘This was a challenging venture but now that success has been achieved it feels very fulfilling explained St.Bernard.
