Manpower Maintenance Services Limited (MMS) celebrated its 20th anniversary on May 13 with a cocktail reception at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston. MMS was started by Audrey Hinchcliffe more than 20 years ago when she decided to put her experience and expertise in health management to good use.

With her motto, 'Never say die', Hinchcliffe decided it was all or nothing. Today, MMS has a portfolio of more than 192 clients and a staff cadre of more than 1,200. The umbrella organisation has expanded to include subsidiaries: The Institute for Workforce Education & Development Limited (IWED), MMS Placement Agency Limited, The MMS Foundation as well as space rental for training, meetings and conferences, etc.

"Manpower's survival is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the loyalty of our clients, who have demanded excellence, motivated us and kept us in business," Hinchcliffe said at the event.

"Our survival also results from the hundreds of men and women who have worked with the company over the years. As we remember what has already been accomplished, we do so fully aware that as we go forward, change and challenge will be our constant companions. A wise man once said, "It is not the going out of port but the coming in that determines the success of a voyage," Hinchcliffe concluded.
