VIDEO: Local Contractors Urged to Collaborate on Major Project to Avoid Displacement
Local contractors are being urgently called to unite and collaborate to tackle significant projects, as failing to do so could result in their displacement by competing international firms.
Prime Minister Browne made these remarks following the recent negotiations for a substantial contract with a Canadian company.
The contract involves comprehensive upgrades to VC Bird International Airport, amounting to an impressive $47 million.
His statements on Saturday highlighted the pressing need for local entities to join forces and seize opportunities in the face of increasing competition.
