In 2008, Andrew and Sandie Niven; originally from the south coast of the UK, decided to make a new home for themselves in Barbados. They set up Niven Distribution, an import wholesale and distribution company that was later followed by a wine division called Wine Barbados.
Fast track nearly ten years, today Niven Distribution supplies most of the hotels, restaurants, bars, and supermarkets on the island. Niven Distribution supplies a variety of products and is chosen for their quality and good value, for both commercial and private customers.
Whether you are looking for cooking oils, French fries, cheese, buKer, welsh lamb, Scottish salmon or anything else for that matter Niven Distribution is here to help.
Wine consumption has grown tremendously over the past ten years in Barbados. Wine Barbados imports a great selection of wines from all over the globe to meet the growing demand. They work with some of the major wine merchants with help from their partner, Roger Wilcocke, who runs the UK office. Wine Barbados now supplies many hotels and restaurants and also has a private wine membership of over 2,500 people. Members are able to order online and take advantage of their free delivery service.
“We also find that many visitors come back to us year after year sometimes ordering online ahead of their vacation, which we then deliver to wherever they are staying on the island when they get here.”
Their son, Harrison, has recently joined the company and has helped form Niven Eco Oil, part of their environmental responsibility and recycling programme to help keep Barbados green and clean. All cooking oils sold to hotels and restaurants across Barbados are picked up by Niven Eco Oil, to ensure that all oil is disposed of safely and is recycled into bio diesel.
Andrew is looking forward to eventually retiring in Barbados although both Sandie and Harrison are not convinced that is going to happen anytime soon. Their warehouses and wine store are situated at The Ellco Complex in Ellerton, St George.
