Alleyne, who has more than 30 years of experience in the retail sector, took over leadership of the organisation on July 15. His objective is to guide BARP in its mission to serve and support seniors who have significantly contributed to the nation’s development.

“My aim is to maintain BARP’s success with the support of its dedicated staff, sponsors and partners, ensuring that the needs of Barbados’ seniors are met with the care and attention they deserve,” he said.

Alleyne holds an MBA in General Management from the University of the West Indies and previously worked at Unicomer Barbados Ltd (formerly Courts Barbados Ltd), where he held several senior leadership roles including Director of Sales and Senior Business Chain Manager for Courts Optical and RadioShack.
