“I’m pleased to host the Cayman Connection Annual Reception at Government House in August, where winners might be announced. A second awards ceremony will happen in September on the second-annual Cayman Day in London. This is a superb new initiative organized by Cayman Connection and supported by Cayman Islands Government Office – UK, and I might encourage the community to place nominations forward,” he added.
