AS Guyana continues its rapid economic transformation, Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fostering an investment-friendly climate that allows businesses to thrive and Guyanese to experience a higher quality of life.

Speaking on Friday at the launch of the Oppein showroom at Floor It Guyana’s Oronoque and Forshaw Street location in Georgetown, Minister Rodrigues emphasised the need for growth at all levels. “As the country grows and develops, so too, we want our people to grow,” she stated.

She highlighted that as wealth increases, so does the demand for higher-quality products and services. “We invest in their education, we invest in their healthcare, we invest in ensuring that there are business opportunities for people to take advantage of,” she noted. The Minister added that Guyana must be developed in a way that not only attracts investment but also ensures that citizens enjoy a high standard of living.

PREMIUM PRODUCTS
Minister Rodrigues underscored the evolving needs and tastes of Guyanese, from culinary and cultural experiences to high-end products that are commonplace in other parts of the world. She emphasised that local entrepreneurs must seize these business opportunities, stating, “Guyana is ripe with opportunities for anyone who is ambitious and who dares to dream big.”
Commending the work of Floor It’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Andre Cummings, she encouraged other local businesses to continue enhancing their offerings and services to meet the growing demand for premium quality.

CEO Andre Cummings reflected on the journey of Floor It Guyana, revealing that the company’s evolution was inspired by a dissatisfied customer in 2014. Recognising the need for improved craftsmanship, professionalism, and communication, he worked to refine the company’s approach, ensuring that customers receive quality service from start to finish.

“Today, with the partnership with Oppein, we can safely say that what we can do for you is allow you to transform your spaces, to capture all your experiences, and bring your vision to life,” Cummings stated.

He assured customers that the new Oppein showroom represents more than just a business expansion—it marks the beginning of a new era in Guyana’s interior design and home improvement sector. “This Oppein showroom is a promise… a promise that you can depend on us for professionalism, for clear communication throughout the process, because you deserve to be kept in the loop,” he added.

POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS
Chairman of Action Invest Caribbean Inc., Dr. Vishnu Doerga, also commended Floor It Guyana’s growth, emphasising the importance of collaboration in Guyana’s development. He noted that while the company has built strong national partnerships, the country’s rapid progress necessitates working with international partners to bring in expertise and innovation.

“It’s good that the partnerships started internally, nationally with the people in the forestry sector. But as a country that is going through such rapid development, it’s hard to do it on our own. We need partners. We need to be able to work together so that everyone can bring their strength to the table,” Dr. Doerga stated.

With the launch of the Oppein showroom, Floor It Guyana continues to position itself as a leader in the home improvement and design sector, offering high-quality products and services that match the evolving lifestyle and aspirations of Guyanese.
