The ability of the people of Jamaica to distinguish themselves in various endeavours is the most significant achievement for the island nation since gaining Independence in 1962, according to Simone Murdock, Corporate Services and Client Experience Manager at Kingston Wharves Limited.Noting that she lived overseas for 10 years, Murdock says the personality of the Jamaican people attracts others, causing many people to want to be affiliated with the country. This is demonstrated in the island’s tourism product, she points out.Murdock says the 75-year-old Kingston Wharves Limited, as the leading port and logistics service provider in the Caribbean, contributes to Jamaica’s development. She points out that having the seventh-largest natural harbour in the world Jamaica has become a global trans-shipment hub in the world.In identifying the area of greatest disappointment as a nation, Murdock points to “opportunities not optimised.”“We know we have the potential as a nation, so we need to move from knowing the potential to maximising and materialising that potential into real deliverables for our people,” she tells Impacting Jamaica host Byron Buckley.
