Iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground named as venue for launch of BritCham Guyana

As the September 11, 2024 date approaches for the launch of the British Chamber of Commerce Guyana (BritCham Guyana), the organisation on Saturday announced that the event will be held at the prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground, Thomas Lord Suite.
This landmark event marks a significant step in strengthening the business ties between the United Kingdom and Guyana. It will bring together influential business leaders, Government officials, and key stakeholders from both nations to celebrate and promote bilateral trade and investment opportunities.
“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,” Chairman of BritCham Guyana, Faizal Khan stated.

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.
Distinguished guests, including the British High Commissioner to Guyana, Jane Miller; the Guyanese High Commissioner to the UK, Raj Singh, and the Chief Investment Officer, Government of Guyana, 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 [Dr Irfaan Ali] His Excellency’s 2030 plan, we anticipate attracting even larger players. GO-Invest [the Guyana Office For Investment) will focus on proactively engaging with technology and manufacturing companies to further this agenda,” Dr Ramsaroop noted.
