| When Rebranding Involves Getting a New Name
|
Xsomo is the new name for Moore Business Forms
Chances are that unless you purchase business forms, solutions or equipment directly from what used to be called Moore Business Forms Caribbean; you will be hard pressed to connect the dots to your everyday life. It may be even harder to make the leap to Xsomo International, its brand new name. |

I have known Eric “Macko’ McNish from the 1970s and “my spirit tek him” from the first time we met. Macko belongs to that class of black Jamaicans who emerged after Emancipation as the leading advocates and agency of consciousness and development. |
