A Chartered Manager by Profession, Dr Malcolm Charles has had a long and distinguished career in the field of Business Administration, Management & Corporate Governance, ever since entering that field as a 'Statistics Officer & Management Trainee' upon completion at St Marys College (local high school) in the late 1960s.

He later pursued studies in the UK, graduating in the field of Business Management & Sustainability, returning home to serve with Geest Industries and its various subsidiary Boards spanning the Windward Islands, which business supported some 22,000 Registered Banana Farmers at its peak...

The text of this book therefore seeks to enlighten interested readers on the 'socio-economic impact' the Banana Industry had provided during its 'hay day' and the role played by the Geest Group across the Windward Islands, with which the Author and his eclectic range of contributors had been affiliated, for some three (3) plus decades.

Today, he humbly shares his 'catalogue of research', having earlier been decorated by the late HM Queen Elizabeth II as an honorary 'Officer of the British Empire'(OBE) for dedicating lifelong services to 'Business Development & Sustainability' and later, the Queens Jubilee Medal for his (apparent) 'unbridled Humanitarianism'.
