The newly appointed CEO of Barita Investments Ramon Small-Ferguson says the company will soon open doors in the Sunshine City of Portmore.

Small Ferguson broke the news exclusively on Taking Stock with Kalilah Reynolds last Tuesday.

“We have already done a lot of the foundation work around that, so you will start to see the banners going up soon,” he said.

He did not specify the location in Portmore where the company’s new branch will be but said the doors will be opened before the end of this year.

The CEO said the move is part of the company’s effort to deepen its connections and reach across Jamaica and the Caribbean. He noted that while Barita does not have any immediate plans to put ‘boots on the ground’ in other Caribbean countries, the company has been able to conduct large-scale transactions virtually.

“We’re not waiting on boots on the ground to serve clients throughout the region. We have very good connections and we have demonstrated by collaborating with a number of them over and over again,” he said.
