LEADING BUSINESSMAN Ralph “Bizzy” Williams is on a new mission to boost Barbados’ foreign exchange earnings.
Williams, who is chairman of William Industries Inc., and an investor in several ventures here and in the Caribbean, is the franchise holder for “global flexible workspace provider” Regus.
And having officially opened the first business centre under the Regus brand at One Welches, St Thomas, yesterday, he is planning to “expand the operations all across the Caribbean, [including] Trinidad, Jamaica, Guyana, St Lucia”. Williams Offices (Caribbean) Limited was established and licensed to do so.
“The plan is to earn as much foreign exchange [as possible]. A lot of businesses in Barbados do well in Barbados, but they are not earning foreign exchange all across the region and outside the region. Our plan is to try to maximise the amount of foreign exchange that we could earn and this is one of the plans for doing that,” he said. (SC)
