Bowen making Cubb’s work for his family
Article by April 30, 2021
Just about three years after venturing into an area in which he has always dreamt about getting involved, Ferniehurst, St Michael resident Kenroy Bowen came very close to the brink of going out of business.
However, with perseverance, encouragement from friends and being able to access financing through the state-run Trust Loans Fund, the father of four is instead today casting his sight on expanding his operation.
Bowen is the proud owner of Cubb’s Fruit, Veg & Variety, trading in root crops, fruits and vegetables.
Unaware of the challenges that small businesses face and with no formal training, the tradesman said he decided approximately three years ago to put his tiling on pause after “things started to slow down”, and pick up the trading of fruits and vegetables.

Government has “largely sidelined” small businesses and entrepreneurs struggling to survive during the current lockdown, the Democratic Labour Party shadow spokesman on business Ryan Walters has charged.
In a statement on Monday, Walters, who insisted the small business community deserve “some level of respect”, pointed to the administration’s handling of the concerns of public service vehicle owners and operators as well as the treatment of small shops.
He said: “It is not at all surprising that the plea for assistance from the Alliance of Owners of Public Transport (AOPT) has fallen on deaf ears. The AOPT has been recently calling on Government to give assistance to its members during the pause similar to what has been provided to other small businesses.”
