Mr Morland Wilson, is Jamaica Labour Party Member of Parliament Westmoreland Western, is the epitome of the new Jamaica, the demonstration of the Party’s embrace of youth and innovation.

Mr Wilson has had significant leadership and management experience, having worked with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, British Council and the European Union principally in the development of programmes and funding for rural and urban enablement, improvement in disenfranchised areas and human rights. This naturally enhanced his own self-development desires and he soon embraced his entrepreneurship spirit and established his own business, first in agriculture and then in the area of consumer durables, training and education.
