IN a story headlined ‘Banks DIH secures Heineken distribution franchise’, which was carried on the centre page of yesterday’s edition of the Guyana Chronicle, we inadvertently implied that the brewery company at reference was recently appointed distributor of Heineken Beer.According to Ms Sharon Lalljee, branch consultant of Caribbean International Distributors Inc (CIDI), it was her company that was awarded the franchise and not Banks DIH. As such, she suggests that the lead of that story should have read: “Heineken Caribbean and Central America has appointed Caribbean International Distributors Inc. (CIDI) as the new distributor for Heineken beer,” and that the headline should have reflected this.She also pointed out that we erroneously quoted Tourism Minister, Mr Manniram Prashad as saying in the 8th paragraph of that story that CIDI had had an entire area to themselves last CARIFESTA, when in fact it was during the hosting of the last GuyExpo that that had occurred.Banks DIH Limited meanwhile, has issued a disclaimer saying that it is “in no way associated with the… launch of Heineken Beer as reported in the… Guyana Chronicle Newspaper” or the Heineken brand for that matter, “and as such does not import, distribute or market the product in Guyana.”The Company further said that it has no linkage whatsoever with CIDI.We sincerely regret our mistake
