The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry wishes to congratulate our members for investing significantly, not only in the interest of their company, but in the interest of the economy as well.

Over the past few months several private companies have made significant investments. These include the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI), National Hardware, Starr Computers and Safeway Security.

GT&T’s E-magine Broadband initiative deserves to be lauded since it has advanced the level of efficiency in Guyana’s telecommunications sector.

Also in the IT Sector, Starr Computers has recently introduced its ‘Xfinity Lite’ (Student Edition) system, available at a cost of $69,000, which is hoped will give many more the opportunity to own a computer system. The Chamber acknowledges Starr Computers’ efforts to bring affordable services to Guyanese.

The Chamber also wishes to acknowledge GBTI on its commissioning of its $2.6B Corporate Office which is seen as a step in the right direction towards improving the banking sector in Guyana.

GCCI also applauds National Hardware for purchasing 103 acres of land at Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown, which is to be used for housing, recreational and commercial purposes.

The Chamber is also proud that yet another member, Safeway Security, is continuing its effort to bring security products and services to Guyanese by introducing the Enforcer product line which covers a variety of products including surveillance equipment, access control equipment, burglar alarms, car alarms and electronic security supplies. Safeway Security has just been named the sole distributor of Enforcer products in Guyana. Enforcer products are manufactured by SECO-LARM, a US Company, which was established more than 30 years ago.

GCCI endorses the investments made by these private companies and is committed to being a catalyst for development and growth among our membership and the business community at large.
