Mr. Ricky Singh is one of the three directors of Omega Caribbean Ltd. (2005) located in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Living in the BVI for most of his life and being very active in various areas of construction gave his father, Ronald Singh, the insight he needed to realize that in the event of a hurricane, the BVI lacked a supplier of strong, impact-resistant glass that would aid in protecting people from strong, potentially disastrous winds and rains. Hence, he took the initiative of transforming the company, which was once a carpentry shop, into a glass shop. By continuously stocking hurricane-resistant glass, Omega provides companies and individuals with high-quality glass that would assist in guarding their homes and warehouses, thereby ensuring their safety and well-being during disastrous natural events. By adapting to the work culture and by understanding the motivation behind Omega’s transformation, Mr. Ricky Singh stated that contributing to glass repairs after hurricanes, repairs to other buildings, and other infrastructure would contribute to the growth of different industries and the general well-being of society as a whole. Omega has given the opportunity to fulfill that goal.
