The company is located in Reform Village, Gasparillo, Trinidad. Daniel Ramoutarsingh, Jack’s son, is the company’s current Marketing Director and Chairman of the Board. He relates the history of the company his father founded, noting that it has been a long and ar- duous struggle, but one that has been met with cour- age, conviction, and a fierce sense of patriotic pride. “My father started working at an early age with his parents Daniel and Vilna in the operation of the fam- ily bicycle store which would later grow into the hard- ware store D. Ramoutarsingh & Company Limited,” Ramoutarsingh begins. “They were selling hardware and construction materials, basically in Marabella, which is a town in south Trinidad. My father was a very unique individual; he made very bold decisions in his day. He was always business driven and, in fact, at the age of 16, he left school to work with my grandfather, full-time.
