Speaking at the launch, John Edghill, Director of Business and Entrepreneur Development at the Ministry of Tourism, Industry, and Commerce applauded the company for its wise move to Essequibo, adding that it is the right development for Region Two.
“This is the right development for the region and is known as the best… There is a saying that the best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago and the best time to plant a tree also is today… I am overwhelmed that Silvie’s has invested and extended its business from the capital into Region Two.” Edghill said.
Meanwhile, Company Chief Executive Officer Bramanand Persaud said it was a tough decision to move to Essequibo but during customer interaction, the demand for the company in the region was very high.
“Customers socialised and said that whenever they need a part they have to travel to Georgetown and get a small part and the travelling does be plenty and hectic for them… So we decided to open our new branch because of customer demand. I can see that it will be a burden off many persons since they will not have to travel back and forth to purchase one simple machine part,” he said
Additionally, the Region’s Regional Executive Officer, Susan Saywack, President of the Essequibo Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and also the Mayor of the Township of Anna Regina, Rajendra Prabulall took the opportunity to welcome Silvie’s Industrial Solution, a household business name, to Region Two.
