In a show of community spirit, Derrimon Trading Company, through its Sampars brand, joined forces with Rubis Jamaica (Tardac Enterprise) and A-One Equipment Rental Ltd. to execute a Labour Day road rehabilitation and beautification project on May 23.

The project represents another step in fostering meaningful partnerships and investing in the communities Derrimon serves.

Led by group CEO Ian Kelly, the team undertook minor road repairs along the stretch between Washington Boulevard and Zaidie Avenue — a vital route serving the Zaidie Gardens community and providing access to local businesses, including a Sampars branch, the Rubis Jamaica service station, and A-One Equipment Rental.

Residents and community members were invited to participate in the beautification project.
