-company urges qualified Berbicians to apply for positions
CHAIRMAN of the Board of Directors of Banks DIH Limited, Mr. Clifford Reece is inviting Berbicians who are desirous of working within the banking industry to apply to fill relevant positions at the Citizen’s Bank when it opens its New Amsterdam branch on July 28.That branch is currently under construction at Main and Kent Streets in New Amsterdam, and would be a replica of the head office building in Georgetown. Its operation would be conducted on an area of 500 square feet, and it would be fitted with eight tellers in addition to service representatives.

Speaking to the hundreds gathered at the annual Shareholders Meeting held recently in the ancient county, Chairman Reece said that while the emphasis is on qualification, he expects that only Berbicians, including children of shareholders, would apply for positions at the new entity.

Reece also said that because the company had received numerous complaints of disturbances, the operations of the Patio bar which used to sell alcoholic beverages were closed, and the Kiddies Corner, which sells ice cream products, was relocated there. The Kiddies Corner now garners monthly sales of $1M.

Reece noted that, in 2013, the company’s Berbice operations garnered sales of $2.261 billion, while 1,595,000 cases of the company’s products passed though the Berbice branch.

That figure, he noted, exceeds one month’s sales for the entire company for the year.
