From employee 025 to celebrating a 25-year milestone

IN 1989, eight years before Jackpersad & Partners Inc was officially formed, Premilla Gurannah’s journey with the company had already started. She admits that in the beginning, she felt afraid of the new opportunity that had presented itself – however, she eventually decided to take the bull by the horns and joined the practice.

“Despite my initial fears, I have never regretted my decision. Being a part of this practice has been an incredible journey for me and I have had the absolute pleasure of working with some of the most incredible staff and directors, who have left an indelible imprint on my life.

“After all these years, I can truly say that the company has become part of who I am. I have always believed that every patient who enters our doors could be a family member, and therefore I always strive to treat our patients with the utmost care, empathy and respect.

“I have enjoyed the last 33 years of being a medical secretary at JPI. I have grown from being an unmarried woman to getting married, becoming a mother of two children and now a grandmother – all within my time at the practice.

“I would like to take this great opportunity to thank the entire JPI family for their continued love and support, and I wish our company continued growth and progress.

“In the words of Teresa Collins: ‘A successful business requires one simple thing, passion’.”
