During his address to attendees, Mr. Troy Cadogan, Managing Director praise the branch for an outstanding year of meeting and exceeding targets. “Essequibo’s performance over the past year is nothing short of excellence.

One of the customers present shared their appreciation for the high level of service they experienced even prior to the branch's opening. This reflects AMDI's commitment to excellence.

In addition, we backed up OKC the Artiste who made a lasting impact in three categories: Soca, chutney and calypso.

Mashramani is a time to celebrate after hard work, and what better way to fully enjoy the festivities than by embracing every aspect of the season?

This year, AMDI did not only provide party goers with three vibrant spots to “carry-on” and “get on bad” but our support was extended to Omaiah Hall, the powerhouse Soca artiste destined for the big stage.

We also renewed our commitment to The Parkside Steel Orchestra, which secured second place in the 2025 Panorama Competition.

AMDI remains committed to preserving the Guyanese culture and tradition while creating an atmosphere for everyone to fully enjoy, express and represent Guyana with pride

ANSA McAL renews sponsorship for Parkside Steel Orchestra

ANSA McAL Distribution Inc. (AMDI) was proud to once again sponsor the Parkside Steel Orchestra for this year’s Panorama competition, held on February 19 at Kingston Beach.

Speaking at a simple ceremony held at the AMDI’s headquarters, Darshanie YusufAbel, Divisional Head – Beverage, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to Parkside, recognizing the band’s dedication to producing excellence and their efforts to give back to the community.

“Parkside has done amazing, winning tournaments continuously. It is not only about winning, but Parkside has also been building into generations, into communities, forming the next generation of pannists,” Yusuf-Abel said.

AMDI’s support, according to Ms. YusufAbel, extends beyond a “one off” sponsorship, as the company promises to assist Parkside outside of the Panorama competition.

Since its establishment in 1998, the now ANSA McAL Parkside Steel Orchestra has been performing exceptionally well, winning over ten Mashramani panorama competitions.

There is also a junior aspect of the band titled, ‘The Pan Wave Academy’, which provides young children with an opportunity to learn the steel-pan.

It also inspires people to act and advocate for positive action towards nature,” Kemptorne Daly.

This year, Earth Hour was celebrated on world water day with a focus on promoting sustainable practices for safeguarding freshwater resources in Guyana.

The students were not only grateful but also pleasantly surprised to receive these thoughtful packages.

According to the president of UGSS, Ms. Tirishata Semple, “[AMDI’s] kindness has made a meaningful impact, and we truly appreciate your commitment to student welfare.”
