NH gets EC$27.7m (TT$69.5m) St Vincent contract

NH International (Caribbean) Ltd was awarded a multi-million-dollar contract to construct a 60,500-square-foot state-of-the-art distribution centre for the distribution company Coreas Distribution Ltd.

The company is no stranger to construction in St Vincent, as it did projects there in the 1990s, including the North Leeward Highway and the Agyle Feeder Roads.

Coreas Distribution Ltd is one of seven consumer goods distribution companies within the joint venture company, Caribbean Distributions Partners Ltd. The company is known for its distribution of wholesale goods such as pharmaceuticals, liquor, cigarettes and grocery items.

NH’s award of the contract was pointed out in a release which announced the impending ground-breaking for the joint venture company’s latest project which is expected to cost EC$27.7 (TT$69.5) million. The release said the new distribution centre would provide space for dry, frozen and chilled storage, and will include offices and employee facilities which would take up about 12,500 square feet.

The project is expected to create jobs for 120 Vincentians.
