The British Chamber of Commerce Guyana (BritCham Guyana) has announced that its much-anticipated London Launch Event is confirmed to take place on September 11 at the prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground, in the Thomas Lord Suite, a release yesterday from the Chamber stated.
It described the landmark event as a “significant step” in strengthening the business ties between the United Kingdom and Guyana, which will bring together influential business leaders, government officials, and key stakeholders from both nations to celebrate and promote bilateral trade and investment opportunities.
According to Chairman of BritCham Guyana, Faizal Khan, “We at BritCham are thrilled to host our London, UK launch at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. I’ve just returned from the UK where I was able to finalise the arrangements and I can tell you this event is not just a celebration of the growth and potential of Guyana’s economy but also an opportunity to grow the healthy business relationship between the two nations.
Hosting the event at Lord’s, the ‘Mecca of cricket’, reminds us of the many similarities Guyana and the UK hold close. We look forward to fostering new partnerships and exploring new avenues for collaboration across many sectors. The event is free for our BritCham members, with a limited number of tickets available for non-members to purchase, so don’t delay getting in touch with BritCham quickly, if you don’t want to miss this exciting and historic BritCham event.”
The release explained that Lord’s Cricket Ground, often referred to as the ‘Home of Cricket’ is significant for cricket fans around the world, particularly in the Caribbean. The ground has been the stage for many memorable matches featuring West Indies cricket teams, showcasing the talents and spirit of Caribbean cricketers. Legendary Guyanese cricketers such as Clive Lloyd, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and Rohan Kanhai have delivered memorable performances at this historic venue.
Among those expected to be in attendance are British High Commissioner to Guyana, Jane Miller; Guyanese High Commissioner to the UK, Raj Singh; and Chief Investment Officer, Guyana Office for Investment (G-Invest), Dr Peter Ramsaroop, will be in attendance.
“This event is a testament to the growing economic relationship between Guyana and the UK. We are excited about the opportunities this launch will create for businesses in both countries. We have already seen many British companies enter Guyana, and with His Excellency’s 2030 plan, we anticipate attracting even larger players. Go-Invest will focus on proactively engaging with technology and manufacturing companies to further this agenda,” Dr. Ramsaroop commented.
