Somewhere in the great beyond, the Henriques brothers (Emmanuel, Rudolph, Vernon, Horace, Owen and Fabian) are smiling.
Their creation, Henriques Brothers, now known as Kingston Industrial Garage (KIG), celebrated the century milestone last Thursday evening with a dinner at the Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel .
There were various photos showing milestone events, including its beginnings on Pechon Street, the fire that destroyed their then Church Street building in 1948 and the present location on Spanish Town Road. Classic cars and long service awards were also part of the festivities. Here are highlights.
