Sponsoring Business Event

Jamaican Products sponsored the Hornsby Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours Event held on 2 August 2016 at the Station Street Bistro, Hornsby. As part of the night attendees tasted Jamaican food, a DJ played reggae music and there was dancing.

The evening was opened by Paul O’Neill, President of the Hornsby Chamber of Commerce. Other speakers included the Honorary Consul of Jamaica Marco Breakenridge and the Federal Member of Parliament for Berowra Julian Leeser. Julian surprised the audience by recounting his visit to Jamaica and touring houses where the famous Noel Coward and Ian Fleming resided.

Jamaican Products served the iconic Jamaican patties and jerk seasoned chicken to the Hornsby Chamber of Commerce members and guests.

Paul O’Neill commented how the event captured not only the taste of Jamaica, but the Jamaican spirit as well. It was a wonderful night with delicious Jamaican food, spices and beverages; an informative presentation of Jamaica and Jamaican Products; a fun Jamaican quiz; a Jamaican DJ showcasing home grown reggae music, to which Jamaica was honoured by enthusiastic dancing.

As founder of Jamaican Products I encourage other local businesses to sponsor a Hornsby Chamber of Commerce event. I was delighted with the opportunity to launch my business with my local business chamber colleagues. They showed their approval by ordering our Jamaican Products jerk seasoning, ginger beer and popular frozen homemade Patties. Products purchased on the evening by the local members and guests were home delivered. Sponsoring this After Hours Event was well worth my investment!

With any successful adventure there are many people to thank for their input. I would like to thank:
• The Chamber Committee members for their help and support in organising this exciting and fun event.
• Matthew Deluca, the chef at Station Street Bistro Restaurant for following my cooking instructions and great plating presentation;
