Congratulations to The Melville family owners and operators for the much acclaimed Chukka Caribbean Adventures and sister company Tropical Battery Ltd for winning the 2008 Observer Business Leader Award at a glitzy ceremony at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston on Thursday June 12, 2009. Their hard work and dedication has definetly paid off over the many years.  We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

The Melvilles have for 15 years worked as equal partners in Tropical Battery Ltd and Chukka Caribbean Adventures - long enough for the family patriarch to assess the results of the unconditional downpayment he made against the future loyalty and industry of his children.
