The CEO commended his team for working hard to establish the branch. He noted that the company is aspiring to bring a high level of customer service by creating a service-oriented atmosphere. The Henrietta location boasts a wide variety of equipment and products for contractors, miners, farmers, restaurants, electricians, vulcanizers, welders, mechanics, and painters.

“We will continue to provide solutions for your problems. We have our online store [where] you can shop online, so when you shop you will be able to collect here. We are thinking of delivery service also so you don’t need to go to Georgetown.”  Persaud added, “I can tell that Silvie’s made the investment the right time and we will soon establish an industrial site and there will be a demand”

Director of Business at the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, John Edghill, remarked that Silvie’s Industrial Solutions was established at an opportune time and Essequibo is the “right place.” He said that Essequibo is transforming and the private sector and consumers no longer have to travel to the city of Georgetown to access products. 

Meanwhile, Mayor of Anna Regina, Rajendra Prabhulall, said he was happy that the management of Silvie’s exercised confidence in the township of Anna Regina. He pointed out that Silvie’s is a household name and many Essequibians know of the company.

Regional Executive Officer, Susannah Saywack on behalf of the Regional Administration welcomed Silvie’s to the region. She noted that the population in the region is expanding and so is the demand on the coast. Saywack assured that the administration will continue to provide the necessary business environment to support businesses in the region. 

 “This is a massive investment for Region Two and it will provide local jobs and more employment within our region. So on behalf [of the Regional Administration], I wish to congratulate the management and staff and I wish you every success.”  

President of the Essequibo Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Suean Seewnarayan echoed that the establishment is a plus for the region and welcomed the team. She reminded that in the past, businesses had to travel long distances to access services and she is happy that they are coming to its customers. 

“We want to welcome you and your team to the region, and to be a part of the ECCI family.”

At the end of the ceremony, the ribbon was cut by the supervisor of the location after which a tour was conducted of the store.
