The Hand-in-Hand Mutual Fire and Life Insurance Companies has officially opened a new branch at Hotel Amazonas in Lethem, extending its footprint to the Rupununi region and further strengthening its nationwide network of nineteen offices.
The launch ceremony, which attracted residents and special guests, marked a key milestone in Hand-in-Hand’s mission to bring reliable and affordable insurance coverage to communities across Guyana.
Delivering opening remarks, the company’s Human Resources Manager, Mrs. Zaida Joaquin, underscored the significance of the expansion, while Marketing Manager, Ms. Savita Singh, detailed the company’s diverse range of insurance products—now available to Lethem residents at competitive rates with the hallmark quality and customer care for which Hand-in-Hand is known.
The Mayor of Lethem commended the company’s longstanding service to the Guyanese people and its ongoing role in supporting national and community development.
Adding to the occasion’s cultural flair, prayers were offered by Mr. Paul Braam, Legal and Compliance Officer, followed by a poetry presentation from Brandon Singh, award-winning writer and the event’s Master of Ceremonies.
