Meet our Member: Cayman Islands Yellow Pages
We've all been there. Whether it's trying to find out what to have for dinner one night, or whether it's hunting for the right repair company to fix a problem at the house, we've all needed to flick through a directory to complete our mission. And no directory is as recognisable as the Yellow Pages.
The Cayman Islands Yellow Pages are a useful tool for absolutely everyone throughout the Islands, with their paper directories ready and waiting in hosueholds and in offices, and their website being but a mere few clicks away from solving your problems.
They are also an active and engaging member of the Chamber of Commerce, having most recently signed up as the headline sponsor for our 2016 Legislative Luncheon on October 19, a fact that we grateful and wholeheartedly thankful for.
As a further thanks, we thought we'd invite them to take part in this week's "Meet Our Member" section, and we caught up with their Marketing Manager Eileen Keens and asked her some questions about the future of the Yellow Pages, what attracted them to our events, and why joining the Chamber Membership is beneficial.
