WESTERN BUREAU:
Two Saturdays ago, William 'Billy' Craig, his wife Candace and their staff disrobed, leaving all 'airs' at the entrance to the Rose Hall Great House, reclaiming their 1960s hilariously popular tag line, 'Don't be Silly, Insure with Billy'.
Together, they transformed the home of the White Witch of Rose Hall, Annie Palmer, into a fun-filled, amusing avenue of first-class entertainment for their close to 300 guests.
Fifty years in the business and Billy Craig Insurance Brokers is far more stately, having established itself as an organisation providing superior service with respect, integrity and professionalism.
However, there was nothing stopping
this team of professionals from kicking off their shoes, stampeding the
makeshift dance floor and creating the crème de la crème of parties in
Montego Bay.
Pace band rocked
They
never even needed a calypso monarch to sing the words to Nobody
Leave, Nobody Go, as the incredibly talented Pace Band
provided all the ingredients that cause one's feet to remain glued to
the dance floor.
With feet firmly glued, the ambience
came alive with beautiful people, fabulous couture, great food,
excellent wines, and conversation pieces.
Craig and
his team are already poised to take up first-place position for 'Party
of the Quarter' in the Second City.
The company tells
its clients: "We are totally committed to developing the highest-quality
insurance products and the most cost-effective ways of dealing with
risk".
Two Saturdays ago, they added another
paragraph, "We are totally committed to ensuring you never forget our
50th anniversary party."
Kudos are in order for the
organisers, Jackie Norman, and Kareen and Ian Lamme of Pace
Band.
