To help recovery in the Cayman Islands, Sigma Finance Corp donated CI$10,000 to the Cayman Islands National Recovery Fund (CINRF) on 16 December.

“It will allow one more family to rebuild their roof,” said Angela Martins, Executive Director for CINRF, “and start the process of recovering from the devastating effects of the hurricane.” 

Sigma’s directors felt CINRF was a timely way to help the people of the Cayman Islands and decided on the $10,000 donation at a Sigma meeting last month. “We feel Sigma has been established a long time in the Caymans,” said Hugh Thompson, Sigma Director and Senior Vice President of Maples Finance, “hence we wanted to make a donation to a fund that would help the people of the Cayman Islands. We hope there will be other entities that will make similar donations.”

Ian Wight, Sigma Director and Managing Partner of Deloitte said, “We wanted to demonstrate our commitment to the Cayman Islands. We feel it important to make a significant contribution to the community in general and the recovery process in particular – the Cayman Islands National Recovery Fund seemed the best way of doing this.” 

Alasdair Robertson, Company Secretary and Partner at Maples and Calder added, “Sigma was extremely impressed with the speed of recovery in the business sector and appreciates the hard work by the people of Cayman in making this happen. At the same time we recognise that for some, the recovery process will take some time. We hope that this contribution will assist in making the recovery quicker for those who have suffered as a result of Ivan.”
