The local business establishment, owned by Hezikiah E. Maddox and Deborah Maddox and located in Cutlass Tower in the heart of Road Town, had said on August 10, 2020, it would be closing its doors rather than be forced by the Department of Labour and Workforce Development to hire someone it believed was not a good fit for business.
It had also accused Labour Commissioner Mrs Janice I. F. Rymer of wanting to force the business to hire someone against their wishes.
Their reasons for the closure had drawn the ire of Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration, Hon Vincent O.
