Sir Royston Hopkin, chairman and managing director of Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada, recently announced the appointment of his daughter, Janelle Hopkin, to the position of deputy managing director.
"As a parent and a businessman, it gives me a sense of pride to see my children develop the capacity to continue my legacy, which I have nurtured over the past 30 years,” said Sir Royston Hopkin in a written release. “Janelle has demonstrated the willingness, zeal and tenacity that it will take to keep my resort on the cutting edge of hospitality in Grenada, the region and worldwide."
