The story of Denmor Garment Manufacturing Inc. is of one of perseverance, determination and an unrelenting desire to make an indelible mark on a sector in which Guyana had not previously been known to make anything even remotely resembling distinction. The company’s founder, the late Dennis Morgan, had come to the table with no grandiose illusions. Rather, he had possessed a conviction that success was much more likely to come from unrelenting effort than from grandiose illusions and wishful thinking.
Established in 1997 with a vision of both making a mark on the garments sector and creating new job opportunities for mostly ambitious working class women, the fortunes of the company appeared to be ‘up in the air’ when in 2012, its founder, Dennis Morgan died of a heart attack at the age of 64. That left the ‘manning’ of the Denmor ‘ship’ in the hands of an all-female crew, Dennis’ wife Fatima and daughters Serojinee and daughters Serojinee, Upasna and Nandani, all of whom have since had to divide their time between their private and diverse professional lives and serving as Directors of a company that had been built on the foundation of expansive ambitions.
