Our Story
About Wilberforce Group
◆A real Jamaican business — wholesale, hardware, and farm-to-shelf — built on integrity, vision, and the relentless pursuit of long-term value.
Our Mission
Building Jamaica’s Future, One Business at a Time
◆Wilberforce Group Limited runs real, operating businesses in Jamaica today — WGL Wholesale, WGL Hardware, and WGL Farm-to-Shelf — while building toward technology, real estate, and financial services over the long term.
Our mission is to build long-term value by supporting entrepreneurs, strengthening communities, and developing sustainable companies across Jamaica and beyond. We believe that with the right capital, guidance, and networks, Jamaican and Caribbean businesses can compete and win on the global stage.
We are not a fund with a fixed exit horizon. We are builders — patient, principled, and committed to the communities where we operate.
“Strong roots. Bold vision. Lasting impact.”
Today, Not Someday
What We Do Today
◆Three real businesses, launching together, each generating revenue from Day 1.
WGL Wholesale
Warehouse-format groceries and general merchandise at wholesale prices, no membership required — plus an international checkout so family overseas can send groceries home to Jamaica.
WGL Hardware
An online hardware marketplace built for tradespeople, contractors, and homeowners across Jamaica.
WGL Farm-to-Shelf
Eggs, poultry, freshwater fish, produce, and jerk seasoning sourced directly from 100 farmer partners in St. Elizabeth, scaling to 1,000 within five years — local ownership that sustains or lowers prices, and a jerk seasoning line built for growing worldwide demand.
