The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry has extended congratulations to a number of  its members for making significant investments over the past few months.

The GCCI in a press release said that recently several private companies have made significant investments, including the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI), National Hardware, Starr Computers and Safeway Security.

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

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

The Chamber also recognized  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 hailed  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 noted too that 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, the release added.
