In 2022 GraceKennedy kicked off its 100th anniversary celebrations in style. Since 1922, GraceKennedy has been a crucial part of Jamaica’s economy, in both a manufacturing and distribution. Creating jobs and opportunities for the people of Jamaica was high priority when Grace opened their doors.  Whilst retail has changed immeasurably over the last 100 years, GraceKennedy has preserved its quality, staff and success as a business through hard work and dedication, always ensuring people are the core of every decision made.

Don Wehby, GraceKennedy Group CEO, celebrates the virtual launch of GK100 with host Simone Clarke-Cooper. GK100 will feature a year-long calendar of events and activities to celebrate the Company’s 100th anniversary and will be reflected across its brands and subsidiaries in Jamaica and overseas.
