UK Trade Mission delegates meet with GCCI Councillors
As the United Kingdom Trade Mission wrapped up its visit to Guyana, members of the delegation met with Councillors of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) on November 13 at a networking event at Palm Court.
The event was organised by the Caribbean Council and saw representatives of the 20 UK businesses meeting with the GCCI Councillors including President, Mr. Kester Hutson; Senior Vice President, Mrs. Kathy Smith; Treasurer, Mr. Brian Edwards; Councillor and Executive Member, Mr. Richard Rambarran, as well as Councillors—Ms. Mary Nagasar, Mr. Komal Ramnauth, Mr. Keon Howard, Dr. Rosh Khan, Mr. Delmar Walcott, Mr. Navin Prashad, and Mr. Devon Seeram.
In addressing the Trade Mission delegates, the Senior Vice President reflected on the fact that this is the fourth delegation from the UK, saying, “This gives me an indication that something positive is happening every time you come to Guyana.”
She emphasised the importance of partnering with local companies, telling the visiting firms that dialogue should not end with their departure. Furthermore, she extended an invitation for them to collaborate with the GCCI in order to connect with member companies, particularly small and medium-sized companies that may have the capacity to either provide services or form a partnership.
Mrs. Smith also encouraged these companies to join the GCCI as part of the international membership.
