Massy has been part of that story for over a century, and this partnership is our way of investing in the people who tell it best.”  said Dionne Ligoure, Vice President, Corporate Communications and Corporate Affairs at Massy Group.

CBU President, Mr. Anthony Greene, welcomed the partnership with Massy noting, “This kind of collaboration between a major regional private sector player like Massy,  in support of excellence in media content and creation is a strategic and positive step in supporting indigenous broadcast, print and digital media that are all so critical to the development of the region that both Massy and CBU members serve.”

Ligoure noted that the collaboration with the CBU represents a cornerstone of Massy’s broader strategic commitment to enhancing the regional media ecosystem. “As an organisation that has grown alongside the Caribbean for over 100 years, Massy is investing in the adoption of international best practices. Our goal is to encourage and recognise high-quality regional journalism, thereby spotlighting credible, impactful Caribbean storytelling across print, digital, radio and television,” she added.
