President of the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ), Patrick Hylton, is stressing the importance of more of its member companies scaling their operations beyond local and regional borders.

This, as he says, the PSOJ is focused on strengthening the conditions that allow businesses to expand, invest, and create meaningful jobs.

Mr Hylton notes that, though several private companies have successfully expanded, more can achieve the same.

However, he says, achieving such a goal will only happen if there are well-managed businesses in the economy.

Hylton was speaking during yesterday’s Best Managed Companies 2026 and Sponsor Signing Ceremony at the PSOJ’s office at 39 Hope Road, Kingston 10.

The Best Managed Program, which operates in more than 45 countries worldwide, including Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica, recognises privately-owned companies that demonstrate outstanding business performance, strong leadership and excellence in strategy, culture, innovation and governance.
