business operator Jamaica

Simon Newell is a British-born operator of Katama Cabins and Villas in Treasure Beach, Jamaica, where he has managed a boutique guesthouse for 15 years. The recent devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa washed away a significant portion of his property, leading to a challenging recovery process that he estimates will cost between $16 million to $20 million. Despite the extensive damage and financial strain, Newell is committed to helping his staff and the local community as they work to rebuild and revive the local economy.
