Ever since I started my first business at age 26, I have continuously reinvested my profits into new ventures or purchasing land for future development. I really believe that people who made good money during the boom years of Barbados should be investing it in the island today. And I put my money where my mouth is by building up the physical infrastructure, which helps develop the country by employing people and bolstering the economy.

Barbados is sufficiently developed that anybody can live a decent life here, but there are still plenty of investment opportunities out there. You just have to look around and see what is most needed. The island is water scarce, so I am planning to put up a desalinisation plant. We need improved food security, so I am investing in agriculture. The country needs more affordable housing, so I am building houses and creating small towns. And so on.

But I still retain a focus on my area of strength, which is developing high-end product in the luxury living sector. My most recent residential project, WestBeach Barbados, seems destined to be another success story. So, why wouldn’t I reinvest my money in Barbados?
