For twelve years, Wester unoin has served in Antigua & Barbuda with then partner, Grace Kennedy Money Services (GKMS), but it came to a halt in 2018 when GKMS decided to discontinue partnership with them.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Now they have partnered up with new companies and have resume their services.<\/p>\n

Andre Largie, Western Union’s Regional Director, says the company is new and improved.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

He continued, “We’ve since taken the time to select for our representation here two agents here that we believe would offer uninterupted services to our customers”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The new partners are Bryson’s Shipping & Insurance and New World Capital.<\/p>\n

According to the Manager of Bryson’s Shipping & Insurance, Anthony Smith, the partnership is a match made in heaven. He added that their companies both share the same core values: being number one and putting customers first.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Director of New World Capital, Horace Cobham, has noted that the new Western Union has been well recieved by the public: “People are constantly popping in asking if we’re back and I’m saying yes and they say great”<\/p>\n

Kristine Rodriguez, Senior Regional Manager of Western Union, explains the location of the branches: “Now we have three stores open and operating as of yesterday, we have Bryson’s headquarters on Friars Hill Road, we also have New World Capital operating out of two locations, one in Long Street and one in Old Parham Road”.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Additionally, there are four new locations upcoming which will open doors for more employment.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Currently between New World Capital and Bryson’s, Western Union has already employed twenty citizens.<\/p>\n
