Scotch Boyz, the producers of Jamaican BBQ and hot sauces, came about when Drew Gray and his three partners decided to enter a grill-off competition. Based on the positive feedback they received during and after the competition, they decided to bottle, market and sell their production locally and internationally. They placed considerable effort in ensuring that like their products, their packaging and labeling would be mainstream enough to be viable, while reflecting the authenticity of their ingredients – the chief being the Scotch Bonnet peppers.The Scotch Boyz journey to where they are now was not easy. However, they have continued to thrive – even during the global COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, one of the highlights of 2021 was their appearance on the US shopping channel, QVC. Drew Gray and his partners remain optimistic about taking their small business to the next level. They are particularly excited about a new product that they believe will be different and successful with the right amount of spice.Drew sat down with Impacting Jamaica Small Business Edition host Andre Jebbinson to talk about his business and JAMPRO’s Export Max Programme’s role in the growth of the Scotch Boyz.
