Dolly and Sarah Davson are members of a third-generation Guyanese family, which over the years has been making a living making and marketing an assortment of containers out of aluminium and galvanized metal. The two sisters serve as assistants to their father, David, who, along with his other siblings, were taught the trade by their father.
The business started in West Ruimveldt and afterwards a second branch was established at 68 Barr Street, Albouystown.
These days, and for the past 19 years, the family has been trading under the name Davson & Davson Port Plaza Store at the corner of Lombard and Drysdale streets. The sisters ‘talk up’ the quality and pricing of the products they offer with an aggressive enthusiasm that gets your attention. Among the products are fire buckets, feeding cans, parrot cages, dustbin covers, cases for air-condition units, guttering, ovens, funnels, graters, cake and pastry pans and mail boxes.
