Kaieteur News – Mayson Blackhouse, a Guyanese Energy Investment Firm, co-founded by Honorary Consul General to Switzerland from Guyana, Dean M. Jackson, says the firm is making headway towards the sustainable development of Guyana’s growing oil and gas industry, and assisting foreign companies interested in establishing a presence here.
The announcement was made on the sidelines of the recently concluded Guyana Basins Summit 2021.
According to the company, Mayson Blackhouse was one of the numerous companies established as an indigenous Guyanese Investment Firm that deploys private equity and venture capital into businesses across major industries.
It said, for many years, the company has been at the forefront, playing a key role in shaping, employing and training high-quality people to cultivate Guyana’s human capital, aligning the interests of investors, customers, community and nation.
During the sideline of the Guyana Basins Summit 2021, Qaasim O.B. Shittu, Executive Director of Mayson Blackhouse, spoke to Guyana’s potential and opportunities to learn from best practices and mistakes of all the oil-producing countries that preceded it and significantly accelerate its development.
He said, “We are taking a long-term approach to invest in Guyana. The companies we have set up provide core onshore services within the supply chain for all the major projects to date, which are primarily offshore production, marine shore base, and onshore construction projects.”
The Executive Director added, “…We are very intentional and thoughtful about which foreign companies and investors we align ourselves with…I have the good fortune of having an expansive network in this industry that spans the globe.”
“I have spoken with and met with senior executives of well over 100 companies and investors that are interested in Guyana. Thousands are interested, but very few have the right mixture of a long-term vision and strategy, corporate culture and ethics, and risk appetite that we believe it will take to be successful in Guyana.
We are one of the few firms that have been on the ground operating since 2017. Our focus in 2021 is to be at the heart of facilitating significant foreign direct investment into Guyana that will create long-term value for the people of Guyana, while also providing robust returns to investors.”
Mayson Blackhouse Guyana was incorporated in Georgetown by co-founders Dean M. Jackson, Chief Executive Officer, and Shittu, as a company with an industrialist vision to generate attractive investment returns for businesses in major industries such as Upstream Oil and Gas Services, Trading and Midstream, Renewables, Commercial and Residential Development, Infrastructure, and Technology and Innovation.
