Jason Sharp dialogue with students at STGC lecture

Years ago, when David Sharp, managing director of Cafe Blue, was offered a once-in-a-lifetime meeting with one of Jamaica’s top hoteliers, he was so excited that he darted four hours from Kingston to Montego Bay, St James, for the meeting.

This was before Highway 2000, and an embarrassed Sharp had to make the long, winding trip back on the ‘old road’, laughing at his folly as the hotelier was never in Montego Bay. Instead, he was metres away from where Sharp had spoken to him on the phone in Kingston.
