In a social media post, it was stated that the purpose of the walkabout was to engage local businesses and address the challenges they are facing in their operations. The GCCI Council members visited prominent establishments such as Palm Court, German’s Restaurant, Nation’s Incorporated, BK Group of Companies, Mattai’s Supermarket, and National Hardware Guyana Inc. During the visits, the team interacted with business owners and managers to better understand the issues affecting their daily operations and discussed potential solutions the Chamber can offer to help alleviate these challenges.
This initiative is part of the GCCI’s broader mandate for the 2025/2026 term to foster stronger collaborations within the business community. The walkabout is expected to continue in the coming weeks, with plans to extend the visits to businesses outside of Georgetown, ensuring that the Chamber’s support reaches a wider network of entrepreneurs across the country.
The event, held in Water Street, Georgetown, saw the participation of the Chamber’s key figures, including Junior Vice President, Brian Edwards; Treasurer, Melisa McRae-George and several Councillors, Richard Rambarran, Orson Ferguson, Keon Howard, Paul Archer, Navin Prashad, Delmar Walcott, Eusi Evelyn, Devon Seeram, Evie Kanhai-Gurchuran, and Rayad Boyce.
