U p JN shores Anglers

-

THE BELMONT, home to the newest financial centre on the block – JN Financial Services – was the oasis where approximat­ely 70 anglers, recent participan­ts in the Sir Henry Morgan Anglers Associatio­n’s annual Port Antonio Internatio­nal Marlin Tournament (PAIMT), were recently hosted.

The exclusive JN aftertourn­ament lyme was a posttourna­ment initiative to recognise the team that reeled in the highest weight of non-bill fish to win the inaugural JN Food Fish Award, an addition to the PAIMT category prizes.

As part of the brief formalitie­s, an envied YETI cooler was presented to the team on Stinger 11, who copped the JN Food Fish Award after catching a school of fish weighing a grand total of 87 pounds.

Organised by Jamaica National and JN Fund Managers, guests were welcomed on the high terrace, with a dramatic view of New Kingston, for an evening of light conversati­on, laughter, celebratio­n, food and libations, as well as a touch of financial integratio­n.

Angela Fletcher, business sales executive at JN, told the anglers that as Jamaica National moved closer to becoming a commercial bank, the organisati­on, along with its subsidiary company JNFM, will provide the financial market with innovative premium products and services. “We are ready for the market, and we will increase competitiv­eness in the industry by expanding our products and services to the benefit of current members and new customers. JN will also be rolling out a special initiative to provide unique and exclusive benefits for clients who maintain a certain level of business with us,” she said.

Expressing optimism about the response from anglers, Fletcher described the evening as being a special “JN way to celebrate the outcomes of the 2016 Marlin Tournament and build sustainabl­e and valuable relationsh­ips as we move forward”.
