Each bottle carries a distinct character that reflects its precise age,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garraway further attributed the company\u2019s success to sustained investments in technology, quality management systems and continuous employee development. He noted that these investments have enabled Banks DIH to enhance its operations while preserving the craftsmanship and traditions that define Guyana\u2019s rum industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This international recognition belongs entirely to the dedicated employees of the Rum Factory. Your patience, precision and hard work made this achievement possible. Without you none of this could have been achieved,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garraway also highlighted the company&#8217;s commitment to international standards, noting that the Rum Factory operates under ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management and ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management certifications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-by Nakasia Logan Banks DIH Limited has achieved a major milestone on the international stage after four of its premium alcoholic beverages were awarded Gold Medals at the prestigious Monde&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30247,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[361,350],"tags":[488,1059,370,412,405],"class_list":["post-30246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-and-economy","category-news","tag-488","tag-banks-dih","tag-guyana","tag-ncn-guyana","tag-ncn-news"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30246"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30248,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30246\/revisions\/30248"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ncnguyana.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
