Caribbean Island Trade 'v' Deliverable Worldwide Procurement Solutions
23 years ago our love affair began with Barbados, not only the stunning scenery, relaxed ambience, but the most amazing people, 5 years later we sold our business and bought a home there - in what is affectionately known as "Mini England".
More recently Robert Kennedy my American business partner, and very good friend, based in Florida and I decided to team up combining my sales and marketing skills with his procurement methodology and commodity expertise. We created West Indies Lumber in January 2021 to provide a reliable trusted first class service with the best quality goods.
The potential for both affordable and luxury-build in the Caribbean is tremendous - we are looking now to create long-term relationships with Architects, Procurement Specialists, Property Developers, Investors and Builders Merchants with professional procurement support, to meet their needs - 'like minded' folk wanting genuine collaboration for years to come, on a contractual basis. Being well connected in the region has paid off and we are looking to bolster our connections further to create a more powerful presence.
