Stanleyville

Located off Faith Avenue, Stanleyville serves as a reminder of the life and work of Stanley R Wilson, who was one of the original Sunshine Boys. Wilson and his brother Sir Franklyn Wilson were among a group of young men who decided to pool their resources to prove that black Bahamians of humble origins could successfully manage big businesses. Their efforts led to the formation of what is now known as Sunshine Holdings Limited, a group of companies that have achieved significant success in the housing, insurance and lending markets.

In June 2003, the Stanley R. Wilson Award for Excellence in Research was established to recognize completed research by University of The Bahamas faculty published in peer-reviewed journals or by academic publishers.
