Georgetown Chamber of Commerce Column

Which place in Guyana do you enjoy doing business with, because it offers you the service that you, as a customer, expect and which you would like to see publicly recognized and honoured for its commitment to customer service?

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce is offering members of the Chamber and members of the public the opportunity to nominate businesses for awards it will be presenting early next month.

Towards the end of every year, the Chamber holds its Annual Dinner, and as an important part of the evening’s programme, it honours members of the business community who, in the judgment of a committee, contributed to the development of business and consequently to the development of the country.

This year, the Chamber has not only expanded the categories in which recognition is to be given, but is facilitating the participation of its membership and the wider public in nominating businesses for awards.
