We’re fostering long-term partnerships and look forward to being part of Guyana’s growth story for years to come,” said Matt Fuhrman, CEO of Core Group Resources. “The Caribbean marketplace is booming with a need for personnel in industries such as construction, maritime and especially with projects in oil & gas, so it’s the right time for us to amplify our efforts and put down roots to support Guyana, its businesses and by extension its vibrant communities.”
