Meet our Member: Cayman Automotive

2016 marks the 10th year in which Cayman Automotive Leasing, Sales & Marketing has been a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

And whilst this might appear a milestone in itself, the automotive company are about to make history with the opening of a brand new service centre specifically for electric vehicles, and by introducing the first electric vehicle in Cuba.

Cayman Automotive, who are keen advocates for reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment with their 'Go Green' messaging, have been an active member since they joined back in 2006.

At the end of 2015 they hosted their own Business After Hours event which saw a tremendous turnout. The size of the crowd was even more impressive considering that the event took place during the annual Pirates Week.

The Chamber of Commerce is proud to call Cayman Automotive a member, and wishes to congratulate them on their historic announcements. It is excellent to see local businesses develop and thrive to such a great extent.

We spoke to Founder and CEO, John Felder and Executive Sales Manager, Mike Gaskins about the business.
