Board Relocation
Merissa Stephen
Departments
of the St. Lucia Marketing Board will settle
in a new home found at the National Clearing
House, located at the Inland Reception and Distribution
Center in Odsan, from Monday 24th September,
2012.
The
St. Lucia Marketing Board has legitimized the
move of their wholesale department, purchasing
department and administrative offices to a new
location in Odsan, stating that the organization
will be better positioned to enhance the ‘quality
of service offered to farmers, purchasers and
other clients’.
General
Manger of the Marketing Board, Flavien Rudolph
communicates that the decision to move the various
departments from their forty-year old location
in central Castries is one with many benefits.
“The place is very much congested and
it makes it unsuitable for business,”
he states.
“When
a farmer parks with a pick up truck to make
a delivery, it is difficult to get there with
the situation with the congestion and the traffic,
as well as other things like the smell around
etc…The other thing too is the building,
how it was designed…it was not designed
with the best facility to facilitate the off
loading and loading of produce,” Rudolph
added. |
