Excavator operators at BK Quarries received certificates after completing a training programme offered by MACORP
EKAA HRIM Resources Inc. was established a year ago, with the inauguration led by His Excellency, President Irfaan Ali. Since then, the company has been putting systems in place to begin operation. The company employs over 60 staff members.
Meanwhile, MACORP also used the opportunity to present certificates to 11 excavator operators at BK Quarries, who recently completed the training programme. MACORP facilitated the training at the Mazaruni River location.
Brian Tiwari of BK Group of Companies said the company is definitely better off with the training provided.
“Not only are we able to operate the machines better but this training has equipped the team with premaintenance, knowledge and skills which will support productivity and efficiency.
“Now we can buy more machines because it means we’ll have more production,” Tiwari said. BK Quarries Inc. – a subsidiary of BK Group of Companies – is located on the Mazaruni River and is one of the largest quarry facilities in the Caribbean.
