The emphasis on golf continues to grow as another major company, CIT Holdings USA, parent company of Aegis Cement Guyana, the manufacturer of Aegis speciality cement, has announced a partnership with the Guyana Golf Association (GGA).
Their partnership is geared towards contributing significantly to the development of the sport amongst women and children locally as a part of their commitment to the country.
The company will have a grand presence at Guyana’s history making Housing Expo at the National Stadium in Providence, East Bank Demerara (located in the banking section) and will also host a putting competition for first time players, giving away lots of prizes for simply trying the game.
Chairman of the Group, Adrian Charles explained “We decided to invest heavily into Guyana based on the plans laid out by President Irfaan Ali and his government around the construction industry, leisure and housing market.”
As a result, our Aegis Cement division is now in a position to immediately supply thousands of tonnes of the highest quality cement in the world. We at the same time feel that we need to invest in the people of the country and the Guyana Golf Association is a great way to reach out across the country.”
Aegis Type IS cement is also a truly green cement as there are no CO2 emissions at the steel plant or at the grinding plant.
The company already has several orders in place from major local companies and guarantees prompt shipping at lower than current market prices in an effort to support the booming construction industry in Guyana.
President of the GGA, Aleem Hussain said “We thank Aegis Cement Guyana for this timely support as they see how much has been accomplished in a short time in Guyana. Recently, we reinforced our partnership with the Texas Golf Association whose President Jon Shipley was at the Academy giving lessons to new golfers last week.”
Hussain stated that the cooperation agreements coming out of the recent meetings will see a strong focus on development of Golf facilities ranging from the flagship Maraiko Bay Golf course to the scaled version around the country that will be open to all levels of players.
To win dozens of prizes, stop by the display at the Building Expo or learn more the game at the Nexgen Golf Academy on Woolford Avenue.
