Mrs. Myers also showed the Hon. Joseph Parry and Mr. Parris the site of the new cafeteria which is presently being built, and the area where a child-care center will be constructed for the children of the employees.

Mr. Hagi informed the Premier and Advisor Parris, that there are many incentives for the staff that the Center gives away, including televisions, Ipads, Blackberrys and financial awards as a form of employee appreciation.

The Premier was enthused about the incentives, and said Brown Hill Communications is also community-minded, and donates locally to various organizations, and for this he is very pleased..

“I am very delighted that Brown Hill Communications is committed to the employees of the Call Center, and the community. My government is committed to working with you for the continued empowerment of the people of Nevis,” said the Premier.
