Mr. Duwayne Murrell

Managing Director

Mr. Duwayne Murrell is the second oldest of Mr. & Mrs. Murrell’s children together.  He started working at Big P in 2005 as a clerk.  Duwayne’s introduction was fundamental into the carrying on of the company as the industry was moving into the technological era which meant that the company would need a younger successor to bridge the gap and transition the company from the older generation into the new.  Duwayne in his over 15 years working side by side with his father has garnered great knowledge of customs procedures and is noted for his expertise and knowledge of the Customs ASYCUDA World system.  With these skills he rose to the reigns of Managing Director in 2021 when his father Mr. Murrell retired to carry on the Big P brand.
