Businesswoman Marcia Forbes recently took up the position of permanent secretary in the ministry of Mining and Telecommunications. Mrs Forbes is focused on doing an excellent job in her new capacity. Having been the general manager of a major television station, TVJ, she is no stranger to many Jamaicans and is married with one son.

Regardless of a hectic schedule, she still makes time to enjoy down time with friends in the Sunday club, plus some extras.
