The Caribbean Council was pleased to support BritCham Guyana Business Forum at Chelsea FC, capturing the success, collaboration, and exciting opportunities ahead for UK–Guyana business.
With over 250 business leaders in attendence, the event was hosted on Thursday, November 6th, 2025. This networking forum included government officials, private-sector leaders, and investors from the United Kingdom, Guyana, and the Caribbean diaspora. The landmark event drew a record turnout of more than 250 attendees, reaffirming BritCham Guyana’s growing role in promoting trade, investment, and collaboration between the two nations.
Delivering the Distinguished Address, Honourable Susan Rodrigues, Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, underscored Guyana’s strong economic trajectory and the government’s focus on sustainable and diversified growth. “Guyana’s transformation is the product of careful planning, responsible governance, and a commitment to equitable progress,” Minister Rodrigues said. “We continue to create the right environment for investment, innovation, and partnerships that drive prosperity for all Guyanese.”
Mr. Faizal Khan, Founding Chairman of BritCham Guyana, officially opened the event, welcoming participants and reaffirming the Chamber’s commitment to fostering meaningful partnerships between the United Kingdom and Guyana.
“BritCham Guyana serves as a bridge between two dynamic markets,” Khan said. “Our mission is to connect people, ideas, and investment opportunities to support Guyana’s continued growth and strengthen UK–Guyana collaboration.”
The evening concluded with a Business Networking Mixer and Charity Auction featuring international artist Maxi Priest, who partnered with BritCham Guyana to raise funds for hurricane-relief efforts in Jamaica.
The auction raised a total of £21,035, with all proceeds supporting organisations coordinating recovery and rebuilding on the ground in Jamaica.
