Fortunately, I’ve had the opportunity to invest in several key industries in Barbados, thereby helping to create jobs and drive economic growth. Furthermore, the companies I’ve either founded or co-founded continue to play a role in advancing the lives of Barbadians and our Caribbean neighbours.

For example, my investments in healthcare are aimed at providing quality private medical services at an affordable price. I have recently made a significant investment to expand Bayview Hospital’s operations with the construction of Bayview Urgent Care – including a 24/7 Urgent Care department supported by an emergency ambulance service, a Level Two Intensive Care Unit, a new asthma bay, a new CT machine, and a full range of radiology and laboratory testing services. Two of my other investments, Diagnostic Radiology Services and Bayview Laboratory, will move into this flagship medical facility to provide patients with a full circle of care. As well as providing much-needed relief to an overburdened public healthcare system, this expansion will position Barbados as a regional healthcare hub, with consultants further expanding our services to provide a realistic medical tourism element.

In my opinion, Barbados is ripe with opportunity, especially for those willing to innovate. The financial institutions are flush with cash, the corporate tax rates are low, the Government is business friendly, and there are attractive incentives for entrepreneurs.
