A. Nor­man Sab­ga, Ex­ec­u­tive Chair­man of the ANSA McAL Group of Com­pa­nies, has been se­lect­ed for in­duc­tion to the T&T Cham­ber of In­dus­try and Com­merce’s Busi­ness Hall of Fame for 2020.

Sab­ga took con­trol of the group as Man­ag­ing Di­rec­tor in 1996 and, up­on the re­tire­ment of his fa­ther, the late An­tho­ny N. Sab­ga (Dr. h.c.), he was ap­point­ed Group Chair­man in 1999.

He was able to trans­form the Group’s ap­proach to re­main rel­e­vant and com­pet­i­tive while de­liv­er­ing ex­cep­tion­al re­turns to in­vestors. As a leader, he placed em­pha­sis on in­no­va­tion and new busi­ness mod­els while re­main­ing true to an in­tu­itive ap­proach to busi­ness.

The ANSA McAL Group’s port­fo­lio of busi­ness­es in­cludes the con­struc­tion, me­dia, man­u­fac­tur­ing and dis­tri­b­u­tion sec­tors. In 2013, the Group crossed the Bil­lion Dol­lar PTB thresh­old. The Group’s strat­e­gy of ac­qui­si­tion and ex­pan­sion, which he pi­lot­ed, still pre­vails. To­day, the ANSA McAL Group op­er­ates in St. Kitts, Grena­da, Bar­ba­dos, Ja­maica, Guyana and the Unit­ed

States, and has been an ex­porter of lager to Cu­ba since 2018.

Per­haps best known for its flag­ship Carib brand, the com­pa­ny’s dis­tri­b­u­tion of al­co­holic bev­er­ages in­clude brands such as Coors Light, Heineken Blade and Smirnoff.

He joins the ranks of 35 oth­er icon­ic busi­ness­peo­ple who have been in­duct­ed in­to the T&T Cham­ber’s Busi­ness Hall of Fame since 2005 at the Cham­pi­ons of Busi­ness Awards cer­e­mo­ny to be held on No­vem­ber 20 at 8 pm.

Due to COVID-19 re­stric­tions on gath­er­ings, this year the Awards cer­e­mo­ny will be con­duct­ed vir­tu­al­ly. The event will be broad­cast­ed live on tele­vi­sion on CNC3 and live-streamed in­clu­sive of the in­duc­tion, as well as pre­sen­ta­tions to re­cip­i­ents of awards in the three oth­er cat­e­gories. Cham­pi­ons of Busi­ness is one of the T&T Cham­ber’s Sig­na­ture An­nu­al Events.
