In making the announcement, Location Manager Alberto Fabrini also announced the appointment of Brian Doy to the position of manager, public affairs, communications and government relations at Jamalco.
Mr. Fabrini lauded Mrs. Laidlaw's leadership of Jamalco's public relations department, noting that this has enabled the company to build a strong and lasting relationship with the local community, and public and private sector organisations in Jamaica.
"Her enthusiasm, commitment and integrity are deeply respected, and she leaves a lasting legacy of community development and capacity building," he said.
