Jamaica Money Market Brokers Limited (JMMB) has informed the Exchange that last week Mrs Imani Duncan-Price, its group marketing manager was presented with an opportunity to serve the country as a Government Senator.

As such, Mrs Duncan-Price has resigned effective May 11, 2012, to enable the company to find an appropriate replacement and facilitate a smooth transition. As JMMB continues its expansion in the region, Mrs Duncan-Price's international experience in strategy development and extensive knowledge of the brand will be called on from time to time, in a consulting capacity on specific projects.
