Government partners with Centreville Office Support to create 200 jobs in Berbice

A total of 200 jobs are to be created at the No. 75 Village BPO Centre, as the Government partners with Centreville Office Support Ltd to foster an environment for job creation.
Centreville Office Support Ltd is a leading provider of specialised customer service solutions and officially opened its expanded site office in Berbice while hosting a job fair designed to attract, engage, and recruit new talent from the region.
The company provides outsourced client support services exclusively to the legal sector, with its clientele including law firms, corporate legal departments, and independent attorneys across North America.
The business offers a wide range of remote support services, including client intake and onboarding, virtual receptionist and phone handling, and legal document preparation and administrative support.
The company already has more than 300 employees working remotely across various parts of Guyana since starting operations here two and a half years ago. It will now be adding an additional 200 employees at No. 75 Village to its workforce.
This expansion is happening in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), where Senior Minister in the Office of the President with responsibility for Finance and the Public Service, Dr Ashni Singh, attended and delivered the feature address at the launch ceremony of the job fair and the expansion of operations of Centerville Office Support Ltd.
Dr Singh was accompanied by the Regional Vice Chairman of Region Six, Zamal Hussain. Speaking at the launch, Dr Singh reiterated the Government’s commitment to continue partnering with the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector and the wider business community, for growth and expansion to create economic opportunities.
“President Ali has said on every available opportunity that he and his Government are building a Guyana that has economic opportunities for every single citizen of our country. That means opportunities of several types. When we say we want to create opportunities for every single Guyanese person to uplift and improve their lives, we are speaking about education and training, employment, entrepreneurial or business opportunities. Even if you did not have the opportunity to complete high school through traditional routes, you don’t have to assume that this means the end of the road in terms of uplifting yourself academically, or that you should rule yourself out of the workforce forever,” Dr Singh said, as he addressed those in attendance.
The Senior Minister added that this is why the Government is providing an additional route for people to get high school diplomas or their equivalent, including through the Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL) scholarship programme. He also emphasised the availability of training programmes that are free of charge and designed to help individuals gain certifications to enter the workforce. He pointed out that the Government wants every person to take advantage of these opportunities.
Minister Singh also mentioned President Ali’s role in bringing the new Telecommunications Act into operation within his first month in office. This development allowed three companies to deploy fibre optic cables across various parts of the country, significantly reducing the cost of bandwidth to one-tenth of what it was in August 2020. This has enabled companies like Centreville and its parent company and shareholders in the United States (US) to come to Guyana and create jobs for Guyanese people.
The Minister expressed strong appreciation to the company for its confidence in Guyana.
Nalini Locke, Operations Manager of Centerville Office Support Inc, who also spoke at the launch, said, “We believe that Berbice holds untapped potential in its workforce—individuals who are capable, committed, and eager to grow. This expansion is part of our long-term strategy to empower regional communities through employment and career development. We are not just looking to fill job vacancies. We are building careers with pathways for advancement, on-the-job training, and performance-based incentives.”
Only last week, the Minister also alluded to the Government’s commitment to provide economic opportunities for Guyanese during the expansion of another company at Enmore on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD), VChart, which is expected to create 250 jobs.
