Bridgetown, BARBADOS, April 9, 2014 – The Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) has launched the In-Firm Design and Branding Project, which will provide participating CARIFORUM state firms with technical support and financial assistance for the strengthening of their packaging design and product branding.

The In-firm Design and Branding Project is the second phase of the Agency’s Brand Development initiative, the first of which was the successful hosting of a Brand Development and Packaging Workshop/Webinar in July 2013.


The Brand Development and Packaging Workshop was developed to address the specific limitations that regional firms face in branding and preparing their products’ packaging for export and to educate them in the required standards for packaging for export to the European Union (EU).

The In-firm Design and Branding Project will take a more practical approach, providing a unique opportunity for regional firms to receive technical assistance in the formulation of effective branding specific to their businesses from the internationally recognized UK-based design firm Brand 42.

Eight CARIFORUM firms were successful in meeting the criteria to participate in this initiative including: Viking Traders Ltd and Baron Foods Ltd from St Lucia; Patwa Apparel, Spring Vale Enterprises and Southside Distributors Ltd from Jamaica; Vincyfresh, Tan Bun Skrati and Armstrong Manufacturing Ltd from St Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Barbados respectively.

Brand 42 will be a technical partner in the project, providing customized consultations and guidance to each of the companies involved and is scheduled to begin its initial consultations at the beginning of April with the proceedings lasting for six months thereafter.

Pamela Coke-Hamilton, executive director of Caribbean Export, commented: “This is another proactive and invaluable offering from the Agency. Our regional firms stand to gain immensely from this project not only in terms of the improvement to their branding and packaging, which is crucial, but also in their knowledge of international standards and procedures, which will benefit their operations across the board.”

Tech stocks have corrected significantly over the past month. As a result the tech-laden Nasdaq is currently down over 5 per cent from its March 5 peak.

KRyS Global, a corporate asset recovery, insolvency, forensic accounting and business advisory services firm recently welcomed Michael Schulz into its Bahamas office.
