JMMB Celebrates New May Pen Branch with Evening of Connection, Community and Appreciation
The JMMB Group recently hosted an engaging client mixer and official branch opening at its newly relocated May Pen Financial Life Goals Centre, bringing together valued clients, partners and team members for an evening centred on connection, community and shared celebration. Dubbed Celebrating New Spaces, Strengthening Connections, the event marked both a warm opportunity to reconnect with clients and the formal acknowledgement of the branch’s relocation to its modern, expanded facility at Millennium Mall earlier this year.
The evening was filled with meaningful interactions as guests mingled with JMMB team members, explored the new space and strengthened relationships built over years of trusted partnership. The event also served as a reflection of JMMB’s continued commitment to enhancing the client experience while deepening its connection to the Clarendon community.
Welcoming clients and other guests, Lorraine Dunn, Branch Manager, JMMB May Pen, expressed appreciation for the strong relationships cultivated over the years and the collective effort behind the branch’s growth. “To our valued clients, partners and friends, thank you for being here and for your continued trust and support over the years. This evening is as much about celebrating this new space as it is about celebrating you and the relationships we have built together. I also want to acknowledge our dedicated team, whose passion and commitment continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients every day,” she shared.
Reflecting on the branch’s longstanding presence in the parish, Jerome Smalling, CEO, JMMB Bank, noted, “For over two decades, the JMMB May Pen branch has proudly served the people of Clarendon, supporting individuals and businesses as they pursue their financial goals. This new space represents a continuation of that legacy and our commitment to serving this community even better.”
Also addressing the significance of the occasion, Alwayne Cousins, Country Chief Client Partnership Officer, underscored the vital role clients play in JMMB’s success. “We are truly grateful to our clients for their trust and partnership. Without you, none of this would be possible. Your continued support inspires us to keep growing, improving and delivering the best possible experience every single day.”
The relocated branch, which has been operational since January 2026, offers a larger, more modern environment and expanded suite of services including banking, investments, insurance brokerage and financial planning, all designed to provide clients with greater convenience and holistic financial support.
The evening stood as a celebration of progress and partnership, reinforcing JMMB’s mission of walking alongside its clients as they work towards achieving their life goals.
