‘Solomon Harris is proud to have the opportunity to support the Entrepreneurship Day Small Business Expo in 2014’, said the firm’s Managing Partner Sophia Harris. ‘Small business entrepreneurs are vital to the Cayman economy, both to meet local needs today and to provide success stories for the future.

‘We feel it is important that there is the necessary support to enable businesses to grow and thrive, and to meet the challenges of the current economic climate’, Mrs Harris noted. ‘The promotion and success of brick and mortar businesses in Cayman, started and run by locally based small business entrepreneurs, does and will provide income and employment opportunities to Caymanians, and is the real barometer of the strength of our economy’.

‘We are grateful to Solomon Harris and other sponsors for sharing in our vision to invest in our community by assisting local businesses’, he said. ‘We expect this event to again be informative, and we look forward to seeing the vibrancy of our small business community on display’.
