Duggan Consulting Limited

NAME OF FEATURE | THE GLEANER | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2020 17 DUGGAN CONSULTING LTD 50TH ANNIVERSARY M ANY CONGRATULATIONS to Astor for celebrating 50 years of operation in Jamaica. It is so good to see the actuarial commu- nity thriving in Jamaica and serving the needs of the country, with Astor being so prominent for most of this time. I have so many fond memories of my time in Kingston from 1993 to 1995, which in many ways helped to shape my future actuarial career and direction in life (I am still yet to return to the UK!). I recall Astor taking me to Sabina Park on my first day, sampling varieties of local rum. I then met friends in the bar of the Liguanea Club, with whom I then played numerous rounds of golf at Constant Spring and Caymanas. I also met my good friend and actuary Philip Cornes in Kingston while he was working for Life of Jamaica (Phil now lives in Spain). Great memories and so much to celebrate. RICHARD HOLLOWAY Great memories and more to celebrate MESSAGES FROM OTHER OVERSEAS ASSOCIATES C ONGRATULATIONS TO Astor and the teamwho have made Duggan Consulting such a great success over the last 50 years! I spent five wonderful years work- ing at Duggan Consulting Ltd, on a secondment from the United Kingdom. My time in Jamaica has been a highlight of my personal and professional life. I remember every day being a fresh challenge, advis- ing some of Jamaica’s largest com- panies on how to provide pensions to their employees, and helping to shape the future of the profession in the Caribbean region. I also enjoyed travelling around the region as part of my role, including conferences all over the Caribbean and a trip to Belize where Astor and I spent sev- eral days advising the Central Bank. I was made to feel very welcome by the local actuarial community and am still in regular contact with friends and associates from Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. I have many fond memories of my time in Jamaica. I enjoyed ex- ploring all 14 parishes, scuba diving, sailing, enjoying Jamaican music, food and drink. My years of working in Jamaica will stay with me for a long time. I have returned to the island many times with my family, regularly attempting to cook jerked chicken and enjoying the occasional glass of rum! All the best for the future!
