Our history

We have been adding value to lives since 1977. Would you like to take a tour of our history?

MDS began as just an ambitious vision, driven around in its roving office - the trunk of a blue Volvo 850 - and later housed in a small room of a building at 18 Westminster Road. Now, a listed company on the Junior Market of the Jamaica Stock Exchange and domiciled on its own property, any windows of opportunity that we now have were opened, in part, as a result of what felt like closed doors in the earlier years.
