SHERIFF Group of Companies, led by serial investor Ameir Ahmad and his father, Shareef Ahmad, say they are once again prepared to make an impact in Guyana’s construction industry by purchasing 50 dump trucks and an additional 50 to be delivered by the end of 2024.

According to Ameir, the significant investment in the dump trucks is a strong indication that Sheriff Construction Inc. is determined to become a dominant force in the construction industry.
“Sheriff Construction Inc. specialises in civil construction and employs a team of highly experienced engineers and professionals with vast field experience. This huge investment reflects the company’s desire to become a key player in the construction industry. I am also proud to say that we are focused on civil construction, and our company has a team of highly experienced engineers and experts with considerable experience in the industry,” he related.

He also stated that the company’s expertise is well-suited to handling a wide range of construction projects, from commercial structures to infrastructure development. According to him, the qualities demonstrated by his company’s commitment to provide quality construction services that meet the highest industry standards are second to none.

“One of our key objectives is to ensure that this company becomes synonymous with excellence and reliability in the construction industry. We are in the process of securing local content certification and all other necessary certifications to align with international standards,” the young businessman said.

He explained, “In all of our business ventures, whether it is Sheriff Hospital, Sheriff Security, Sheriff Construction, or any other of our businesses, we are ensuring that with our investments, Guyanese are benefiting.

“This is a commitment that we have made as a company, and it is a commitment that our president has been talking about since he took office. So, like President Ali said in many of his presentations, while we are developing the infrastructure of Guyana, we have to also develop and help our fellow countrymen. The Sheriff Group of Companies is pleased that we can play our part in doing this, and we will continue to; it’s the only way Guyana will grow; we have to help each other.”

He continued, “With the purchase of these trucks, for example, we have to employ drivers and porters. Like every other business that we do. One of our main priorities is safety, which also means that we must cater for the employment of mechanics, and we have to also purchase tyres, among other things. So, like I said, we are proud to know that I am helping to make a difference in people’s lives through our investments.”

Although the company was officially established in April 2023, Ahmad noted that his team has successfully completed various projects over the last five years. According to him, some of the significant projects include the construction of the Sheriff General Hospital in Leonora, in Region Three (Essequibo Islands/West Demerara), 25 luxury houses, and a three-story office building on Da Silva Street in Georgetown.

Currently, Ahmad shared that his crew is now working on the Sheriff Mall in Palmyra in Region Six (East Berbice Corentyne) and two condominiums in the Richmondville Housing Scheme in Providence on the East Bank of Demerara.
