William Andrew Boyle, Chief Executive Officer of Eureka Medical Laboratory (EML), was recently credited as the Entrepreneur Laureate of the Year for the 2018, Anthony N Sabga Caribbean Awards for Excellence.

After the announcement of the award, he said, “I am on Cloud Nine, deeply honoured. The most important part is that I feel so happy because I’ve come this far from my humble beginnings. It’s a deep feeling of accomplishment. Not that I will behave as though I’ve arrived but I feel vindicated.”

Boyle was born in Haraculi (also called Good Hope), in Kimbia Village which is fringed by the Berbice River. The bush was his playground and the river, his daily route for every activity that he needed to attend. From his simple home, he had to paddle a canoe with his siblings to attend primary school.

With the award, Boyle dreams to give back to his village by establishing some projects to help alleviate his people’s living conditions. With his business engagements in solar energy, medical laboratory science, and agri-business, the possibilities for development will be endless.
