Five local vendors returned to the Island last week after showing off their Bermuda inspired products and building international connections in New York City, through a partnership between Bermuda Economic Development Corporation [BEDC] and Driven Society.
Entrepreneurs Kayuntae Ming [His N Hers Hair & Beauty]; Nina Froncioni [Limestone + Cedar]; Channing Dill [Native by ChanningElizabeth]; Kelsea Williams [NovelTea] and Jayde Gibbons [Queendom Heights] were the winners of BEDC’s inaugural Vend 2 Win competition, securing a spot in an eclectic millennial inspired market, known as The Reserve, and receiving free airfare and hotel accommodation, thanks to sponsorship from the BEDC.
