February 20th, 2019 – Kingston, Jamaica. The Texaco brand is celebrating 100 years in Jamaica this year, under the axiom: Quality, Innovation, Excellence, Reliability and Service.
To kick-start the celebrations, the company held a church service at the Webster Memorial United Church in Kingston on Sunday, February 10th, where it donated $100,000 to the Church’s Educational Assistance Program. Reverend Paul DaCosta Pinto, in a lively address to the congregation, delivered a sermon entitled Faith Prints, and urged attendees to abandon the idea of self, status, and strategy in place of putting our faith in God.
The church service was followed by a press launch at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, which took place the following day Tuesday, February 19th.
Speaking at the launch, President of the Jamaica Gasoline Retailers Association (JGRA), Gregory Chung, reminded the audience of popular Texaco slogans, such as “trust your car to the man with the star,” and spoke of the brand’s close relationship with its staff and retailers.
Alphie Mullings-Aiken, President of Junior Achievement Jamaica referred to the company’s commitment to the wider community, citing its role as a founding partner of Biztown as one example.
