Flow partners with Manchester Parish Council to enhance Mandeville

Mandeville’s town centre benefited from a facelift on Labour Day, Wednesday, May 23 with the support of Flow. In the spirit of the theme of Labour Day 2012, ‘Step Forward, Make Jamaica Beautiful’ the broadband service provider did just that in its partnership with the Manchester Parish Council. A team of Flow employees joined other volunteers from the community to carry out maintenance and general beautification of the town centre, park and streets leading off.

Mayor of Mandeville Councilor Brenda Ramsay welcomed the support of the Flow team.  “Labour Day is a good opportunity for volunteers to come in to help; that is why we welcome Flow’s support. Every labour day Flow is onboard to assist us not only financially but with manpower,” she said.

“Mandeville is a vibrant community, and we thought it important that our Labour Day activities in the year of the 50^th anniversary of our independence should include this town,” said Denise Williams, director of corporate and government affairs for Columbus Communications Jamaica Ltd., operators of the Flow brand.  

“We believe in the power of community partnerships and are proud to be a part of the activities in preparation for the very special celebrations.  We are firmly committed to being a part of the national mission of celebrating Jamaica’s tremendous achievements for the past 50 years. The Labour Day projects this year gave us the perfect opportunity to partner with the citizens as they prepare their communities for the Jamaica 50 celebrations that will take place here,” she added.

Labour Day 2012 is another in the series of national events that Flow is supporting as part of its overall programme of activities for Jamaica 50. Flow employees joined citizens, the fire brigade, service clubs and NGOs in various projects in five jurisdictions across the island. The Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC), May Pen, Mandeville, Montego Bay and St Ann’s Bay were the beneficiaries of Flow’s assistance.
