BritCham Guyana appoints full-time Business Development Executive

The British Chamber of Commerce Guyana (BritCham Guyana) has appointed former Banking Executive Remonna Graham as its first Business Development Executive, with responsibility for growing the Chamber’s membership and supporting existing members in developing business and networking opportunities.
Graham, a Guyanese national, joins BritCham with more than 10 years of corporate and client-facing experience in Guyana’s banking industry.

Graham said, “I am honoured to be the first Business Development Executive to join the BritCham Guyana team. I am looking forward to continuously delivering exceptional support and service to the BritCham members and the larger community, as together we advance and strengthen trade relations between Guyana and the UK.”
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in international relations and is pursuing an MBA. The full-time role of Business Development Executive will be based at BritCham’s headquarters in the New Pegasus building in Georgetown.
“Remonna is a talented and dedicated business development expert with long-standing experience on the ground and strong relationships with decision-makers across Georgetown,” said BritCham Chair, Faizal Khan.
He added, “We are confident she will help us continue to drive the impressive growth in our membership that we have already seen this year while offering valuable support and guidance to BritCham members as they build networks and navigate the business terrain – in particular, Guyana’s banking and legal systems.”
Launched in February, BritCham Guyana is an independent trade and commerce body that acts as a hub and partner for British and Guyanese companies interested in working together or investing in each market, as well as fostering a strong ecosystem for information sharing and networking, improving the ease of doing business, and collaborating with UK and Guyanese authorities to support the business community.
At that time, it was revealed that the Chamber has close to 30 member companies, with some 50 verbal commitments. It was also communicated that BritCham Guyana would be launched in London, England, and Aberdeen, Scotland.
The Chamber was set up to act as a support for other Chambers of Commerce that exist in the countries in which it operates. British and Guyanese companies were also encouraged to sign up as members with BritCham Guyana to enjoy the full benefits of its support in exploring and accessing each market.
The independent, non-profit Chamber also serves as a leading promoter and enabler of trade and investment between the UK and Guyana, one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. BritCham Guyana also works closely with the British High Commission in Georgetown and UK Government departments to support their advocacy work in Guyana.
