Work on the multi-million dollar Newton Business Park has resumed with a new contractor and a new team of consultants geared up to bring the project to successful completion.

Perry Edwards accepts the prestigious Innovation Award on behalf of his company, Strategic Marketing Specialists, from Peter Whitehall of the Central Bank of Barbados (right), corporate sponsors of the Award.
Edwards and Stephen Belgrave founded the company in 2004 which produces Chef Stevan’s instant Fish Cakes.
The company has made a major breakthrough in reducing the amount of time that goes into preparing these cultural delicacies with its production of a batter that can be fried or baked straight from the container.
Twenty local companies were recognised for outstanding achievement during the 37th Annual National Industrial Awards Ceremony held at the Barbados Hilton in November, 2007.
