✨ IMITARS – 10th Anniversary
Today, 16 April 2026, marks 10 years since IMITARS was born — a journey that began from one of the toughest moments of my life.
On 11 March 2016, at age 45, I was laid off after the closure of ArcelorMittal Point Lisas, ending 22 years of service, including 12 years as a Crane Operations Supervisor.
With all my experience rooted in heavy equipment operation and lifting, opportunities were extremely limited.
I had two choices: remain stuck… or step out of my comfort zone.
On 16 April 2016, driven by faith, necessity, and determination — IMITARS was formed.
First, I thank the Creator for guidance, strength, and provision throughout this journey.
I also want to apologize to my family for my absence — the long days, late nights, and sacrifices you endured. No one truly prepares you for the reality that building a business requires 24/7 dedication — mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and unwavering support.
To all the companies, clients, and partners who believed in IMITARS from day one —Thank you.
Thank you for trusting our training, inspections, and our commitment to safety and excellence.
As we celebrate 10 years, I stand humbled, grateful, and proud of how far we’ve come.
IMITARS remains committed to delivering the highest quality of service and raising industry standards across Trinidad & Tobago and the region.
Thank you for 10 years of support.
Here’s to the next decade of growth, service, and excellence.
