The Kingdom of Spain honoured its most recent Consul in Guyana, Brian Tiwarie, at a special awards ceremony, Wednesday evening. The ceremony was held at the residence of the Spanish Ambassador to Guyana.
Mr. Tiwarie served as Honorary Consul to Spain for more than a decade, starting in 2011. He resigned earlier this year.
The ambassador to Spain, His Excellency Fernando Nogales Alvarez, presented Mr Tiwarie with a plaque that read, “To Brian Tiwarie, Honorary Consul of Spain to Guyana Sept 2011-2022. With profound gratitude from the Embassy of Spain.”
This is just one of the many recognitions of Mr. Tiwarie’s contribution to his country and to the diplomatic community. He was also awarded for service many organisations including the Guyana Police Force, the government and to numerous civic organisations.
In 2004, the company he heads, BK International, was awarded the International Gold Star for Quality. The following year he was awarded the International Platinum Star for Quality.
In 2006, he received the World Quality Commitment International Award (Gold Category). One year later he was awarded the Arch of Europe for Commitment to Quality.
Mr Tiwarie heads Guyana’s largest privately-owned construction company. He now owns the largest pool of construction assets in Guyana. With these assets he has successfully completed many major projects funded by the government, private enterprises and international funding agencies.
Some of the international funding agencies include the World Bank, the Caribbean Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and the European Union.
The projects range from sea defence to major road construction to state of the art buildings, some of them in the city of Georgetown.
