Georgetown: In the aftermath of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director of Global Seafoods Distributors Mrs Allison Butters-Grant death on Sunday President David Granger said he was saddened to learn that she lost her battle with cancer.
The Ministry of the Presidency noted that Butters- Grant was greatly admired and respected as a female entrepreneur and trailblazer.
Last year, President Granger toured Global Seafoods Distributors and noted that the company’s operations were, “entirely in keeping with Government’s food security policy”.
Butters- Grant, who was living in the United States, had returned home after spending 29 years there and with the support of her husband, in the latter part of 2014, invested in the business which is located at West Ruimveldt, Industrial Site.
President Granger has extended “heartfelt sympathy to her husband, children and other relatives.” The company, which is now well established, does value-added processing of grey snapper, banga mary, trout and other wild-catch fish, producing products such as seasoned fish, fish fillet, nuggets, steak, headless and head-on fish.
Guyana Gold Fields, the Guyana Defence Force and the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation are among its local buyers.
