…says small businesses sustain the economy

PRESIDENT David Granger on Wednesday emphasised the important contribution small businesses make to the growth of the economy during a visit to F&H Printing Establishment in Campbellville, Georgetown.

According to a Ministry of the Presidency release, the Guyanese leader was invited by the entity’s proprietor to take a look at their operations. “In fact, worldwide, 95 percent of businesses are small and they employ 60 percent of people around the world. So while they might be a few big corporations, the fact is that small businesses sustain the economy.
The President lauded the company’s management for maintaining a strong track record in terms of quality and innovation. He noted that investment in technology has enabled F&H to catapult into one of the finest printing companies in Guyana. “This company invested in technology and that is the most important thing you have to remember in building an enterprise. You have to pay attention to innovation. Innovation opens the door to better access to the markets. It helps you to know what markets are producing and what they are demanding…These are lessons that F&H can teach to the corporate community,” President Granger said.

F&H started as a small family business in 1988 and today the company continues to be run in a family atmosphere with over 30 employees. The President also recognised that staff loyalty has been a contributing factor to the establishment’s expansion and development.
Proprietor, Mr. Fazil Hakh said that F&H is one of the oldest private printing companies in Guyana, which, over the years, has acquired the ability, expertise, machinery and equipment to produce printed materials that are in line with market demand. “We at F&H are proud of the expertise that we have acquired and the fact that we have made a very positive impact on the lives of our employees, companies and businesses that utilise our services to produce print of a very high standard,” he said.
F&H offers high quality graphic design services and full colour printing and features state-of-the-art equipment and technology, to offer a wide range of products using Computer-to-Plate (CTP) Image Setters and Offset printing. Its range of products include: letterheads, business cards, envelopes, bill books, customised business stationery, labels, boxes, flyers, brochures, magazines, calendars, books and greeting cards.
