Once the dust settled, then Managing Director Anthony Bell asked Clarke to take on the role of logistics manager, a position that would be responsible for 50% of all production at the Spanish Town Road location. Clarke recounts that this was a successfully executed project that he and his team were proud of. The D&G winery was also encapsulated under this project. This was an exciting project for Clarke as the tasks involved the relocation of the winery from the North complex to the South complex of the company's operations. While at JWN, Clarke would work alongside consulting engineer Paul Stockhausen to build the winery there. Thereafter, Clarke was offered a job as project manager at J Wray & Nephew (JWN) which he accepted. Clarke spent a little over a year in his own printing/promotions company and soon realised that being a salesman was not his passion. At that time, he worked with the sugar division for a period of five years then left the family business and moved to Kingston. He joined the family business at Worthy Park Estate after completing his MBA degree. Clarke informs that apart from attending school overseas, Jamaica has always been his home. ![]() But how much do we know about the man at the helm? Gordon Clarke can be described as a proud Jamaican who genuinely and deeply loves his country. We have all heard the name Worthy Park or more familiarly Rum- Bar Rum. ![]()
